Expanded Course Description
| What is cinema? Is it an art form or a medium? What distinguishes cinema from other arts? Does cinema inherently favor certain kinds of content and modes of expression? How can we describe its relationship to reality? What are the social and cultural effects or functions of cinema? What is cinema’s future in the age of new media?
This Arts & Letters group-satisfying course introduces students to some of the key authors, debates, and concepts that have motivated cinema scholarship since the early twentieth century. By applying the writings of groundbreaking theorists to films from across the globe, students will explore cinema as an art, ideology, social/cultural institution, and as a technological mediation of “reality.”
