Expanded Course Description
| This course examines the "worlding" of cinema: that is, it explores the medium of film from an explicitly comparative perspective. Students are introduced to questions of cultural translation and adaptation, and are asked to address the aesthetic, ideological and socio-economic exchanges between national cinematic traditions. In addition, students gain a brief overview of film theory and media aesthetics, as well as learning key terms in translation theory. Finally, given its focus on international exchange and the global circulation of cultural forms, COLT 212 offers a strong introduction to the discipline of Comparative Literature.
This course is designed to satisfy the Arts and Letter group requirement by virtue of its broad scope and introductory nature. It also satisfies the International Cultures multicultural requirement because it helps students challenge their mono-cultural consumption of a popular medium like film, as well as providing them the tools to assess the socio-political uses and purposes of culture in a global context.
