藝集講堂︱ 楊照: 小說特別企劃 【 終將不朽的伊塔羅.卡爾維諾 】全十講 線上課程 (附三堂實體工作坊)


【課程介紹】


伊塔羅.卡爾維諾Italo Calvino可以說是乘著「後現代」翅膀高飛的小說家,在現代主義出現疲態的關鍵時刻,他展現了驚人的實驗原創力,接連推出前所未見的種種形式表演。


在那個時代他成為最受注目的國際作家,有著明確的環境條件推波助瀾。然而在「後現代」不再有人提及,紅極一時的「後設小說」風格幾乎都被遺忘了,甚至離卡爾維諾六十二歲早逝的一九八五年,都有四十年之久了,他的小說作品,他的一些自傳散文,還有他表達文學信念的演講稿,竟然持續吸引了許多新的讀者,並讓老讀者意猶未盡地時時重訪重讀。


顯然,卡爾維諾取得了準不朽的地位,單純靠他留下來的這些巧思作品。這門課邀請大家來完整認識卡爾維諾,課程將大致依照出版年代順序,細讀並探索下列十四本書(都有台版中文譯本),呈現一幅多角卻清晰的創作心靈圖像。
