Graduate Film Theory Seminar
200 001 | CCN: 24575
Location: Dwinelle 226
Date and Time: TU 9:00am - 11:59am
4 Units
This seminar will examine both traditional and recent critical approaches to a systematic and historical study of film. Although we will emphasize contemporary structuralist-semiotic, psychoanalytical, and socio-critical methods, we will also study the classical debates in film theory about representation, filmic vs. literary signification, sexual difference, and the social function of images in modernism and postmodernism. Illustrations will be taken from film history from 1910 to 1980.
