Moreover, this course includes experiments with objects related to those often studied in art history, such as use of physical-chemical analysis of the materials used.

Course Description
This course offers a discovery of literary animal studies through the apocalyptic imagination. The course studies, in fictions of the end of the world, how the animals are represented, what roles are attributed to them, what place the novelists and novelists reserve for them. The study of THE PLANET OF THE APES by Pierre Boulle and LAST MAN by Margaret Atwood (to whom we also owe LA SERVANTE SCARLET), beyond the differences between French science fiction and American science fiction, cover the twentieth and twenty-first centuries and analyze the evolution of animal representations under the effect of animal studies and animal movements. The two novels propose a temporal and societal shift to observe the current world at new expense, underlining its paradoxes and its absurdities. The course studies the reception of these works, in particular that of Pierre Boulle so often adapted to the cinema, to apprehend their political value.

Course Description
This course provides a theoretical approach to the image in sequence (the semiology of the cinema, the temporality, the point of view). It also takes a methodological approach to the manufacturing of the image (the assembly, editing, framing, etc.) The objectives of the course are to present fundamental knowledge in visual semiotics and exemplify them with films and to improve the control and mastery of the tools of semiotics of the image. Through this course students are able to: understand the significant dimension of the image; apply the technical facts to the meaning; master the concepts-keys of semiotics of the image and the film analysis; problematize the image; master the main tools of visual semiotics.
