A descriprtion of the form and structure of dramatic language in texts is paired to exercises which analyse film scenes, the backstage and the making of the fim version. Selected readings complete the volume meant for B2 to C students of English

Multilingual art catalogues are a standardized genre, which collect academic, explanatory, and descriptive writings. These hybrid volumes pose problems related to semantic and communicative translation, terminology, specialized language, and emotive discourse by involving the visual. In a world where art is communicated with diverse media, publishers should reconsider the format of exhibition catalogues, as translation across media and languages can play a crucial role in marketing art and culture. Cet article traite de la traduction des catalogues d'exposition dans le contexte de la communication cross-médiatique en abordant un petit corpus de textes multilingues. Les catalogues d'art multilingues sont un genre standardisé, généralement imprimé, qui rassemble des écrits académiques, des textes explicatifs et descriptifs également. Ces volumes hybrides posent des problèmes liés à la traduction sémantique et communicative, à la terminologie, au langage spécialisé et à la fonction du discours émotionnel en impliquant le visuel. Dans un monde où l'art est communiqué par les médias les plus divers, les éditeurs devraient reconsidérer le format des catalogues d'exposition afin d'impliquer le public, car la traduction entre les médias et les langues joue un rôle clé dans le marketing de l'art et de la culture.

Museology and Media studies have addressed the topic, but storytelling is not a common practice in Italian culture compared with the Anglo-Saxon context, and the example provided by the installations at the Museo Diffuso della Resistenza in Turin represent a unique case of artification of oral history worth discussing. The article aims at using an interdisciplinary approach to address oral narrative as builders of identity. With the standpoint of narrativity, I address the function of museums as collectors of memories and focus on how the narratives that wrap an exhibition and what is displayed, enhance and shape the eventness of museum stories.

The exceptionality of the work of art is questioned by highlighting the interstitial, processual and translational dimension of any cultural production aiming at being recognised as aesthetic. Narratives ― novels or hypertexts, art exhibitions or cultural events, video games or political campaigns, travelogues or company profiles ― spread over multiple platforms and media, calling for a renewed interest in the ancient art of storytelling. In the new participative transmedia environment, storytelling travels across all sorts of cultural fields thanks to the re-creative and re-distributive processes allowed by the Internet and social media sharing. The medium enhances the practice: storytelling combines oral narrative (mode) in the form of a script (genre) but uses a variety of media (blog, web page, social networks) to creat...

The notions of intertextuality, interdisoursivity and mediation are discussed with a multidisciplinary approach along with the role of language and storytelling in relation to the use of new media (social media, internet of things etc.). The third chapter examines art terms and art dictionaries while the fourth chapter is dedicated to art terminology in Early Modern dictionaries
