COURSE:
Sylvia Plath & David Lynch – los relatos estadounidenses
25 Oct
No Category Sylvia Plath y David Lynch: los relatos estadounidenses Gudrun Palomino 25 de Octubre 13h-15h30
La visión de lo grotesco y lo visceral frente a la deconstrucción de la idealización del sueño americano vertebran tanto la obra de Sylvia Plath como la de David Lynch. De hecho, hay bastantes puntos en común entre los dos creadores, como la crítica a la sociedad estadounidense, la personificación de la violencia, el mundo onírico y el tratamiento de los dobles y la dualidad personal. En este taller, trabajaremos con algunos poemas, ensayos, la novela La campana de cristal y las obras pictóricas y collages de Sylvia Plath contrastándolos con escenas y guiones tanto de Twin Peaks como de películas como Eraserhead, Lost Highway, Mulholland Drive y Blue Velvet, así como lienzos de David Lynch. Además, analizaremos las biografías de ambos artistas (Cometa rojo y Espacio para soñar) para ver en qué coincidían sus vidas y su forma de crear, y veremos influencias comunes como Francis Bacon y Kafka. Los materiales estarán disponibles tanto en inglés como en español (con mis traducciones de Sylvia Plath) y el grupo estará reducido a 15 alumnos/alumnas/alumnes. €30
