The Department of Romance Languages and Literatures hosts Kriss Raveto-Biagioli, PhD, Professor of Cinema and Digital Media at the University of California, Davis, Tuesday March 28, 2017, for a presentation entitled, “Mythopoetic Cinema: Reimagining the Borders of Europe.”
Mythopoetics questions the constant need to provide new identities, a new Europe, and with it a new European cinema. Prof. Ravetto examines mythopoetic cinema as the problem of reimagining the borders of Europe resurfaces in yet another, much more recent, crisis of so-called European identity.
The presentation is 4:00-6:00 pm in 930 Clemens Hall, and will be followed by light refreshments.
