COMM 29902 - Networked Lives, Networked Bodies Course Credit: 1
Maximum Credit: 0
(COMS, ENGL)
COMM/ENGL-29902. NETWORKED LIVES, NETWORKED BODIES The course will provide a survey of theories of cultural and media studies from the mid-nineteenth century through the twenty-first, in tandem with a survey of the rise of the mass media. Focusing on the direct impact of media technologies on human ways of knowing, the course aims to help students-often typecast as “digital natives”-think critically about the technologies that surround us. Through humanistic training, students can learn to see media through fresh eyes, considering other possibilities for their own interactions with technology, as well as for the processes through which texts are composed and circulated and for technology’s role in shaping, and being shaped by, human cultures.

COMM 29903 - Postcolonial/Decolonial Visual Culture Course Credit: 1
Maximum Credit: 0
(COMS)
Postcolonial/Decolonial Visual Culture The imperialist project of European colonialism radically transformed the world, with political, social, economic and cultural implications for the societies that were dominated in Africa, Asia and the Americas. The colonial project devoted a significant amount of psychic energy to the construction and representation of non-European peoples and places. In this course, we will examine the production and deployment of these visual discourses not only as way to understand colonial history but as a frame to examine the current global power relations modelled after colonial structures of domination. Drawing on theoretical and methodological insights from critical/cultural studies and postcolonial/decolonial studies, this course will introduce the core tenets of colonial discourse and explore the representation of race, gender, sexuality, class and ethnicity in order to identify and connect patterns of racialized discourse from the past to present, allowing us understand how these operate today.

COMM 35005 - Surveillance of Difference Course Credit: 1
Maximum Credit: 0
(COMS, WGSS)
SURVEILLANCE OF DIFFERENCE What is the definition of surveillance? What does it mean to be “visible” to the government or your neighbor? What impact do social media have on perceptions of identity? On social movements? These are a few of the questions we will investigate in this course. From a feminist perspective, we will seek to understand the relationship between individual bodies and modern forms of surveillance such as the Apple watch, Twitter, or body scanners in the airport. We will also screen episodes from BBC’s “Orphan Black” and “Black Mirror” to understand how surveillance is represented in the media. Additionally, we will consider how categories of identity such as gender, race and ethnicity, or sexuality impact an individual’s ability to be visible or invisible and some of the consequences associated with these identities.

COMM 35007 - Transnational Queer Cinema Course Credit: 1
Maximum Credit: 0
(COMS, FILM, WGSS)
Transnational Queer Cinema This course offers an introduction to queer and feminist film studies, focusing on several key genres, directors, and themes in transnational queer and feminist film cultures and scholarship. We will explore what makes a particular film or media practice “queer” and what role media production, distribution, and exhibition have in the process. We will examine constructions of sexuality, gender, race, and nation in a variety of films and investigate how transnational queer and feminist cinemas can both participate in and resist dominant ideas about sexuality, imperialism, race, gender, politics, and community. The course teaches basic film concepts so that students can apply them to the films we watch. Students will learn to incorporate formal film analysis into an analysis of ideology, production, circulation, and consumption, and will develop the skills to construct understanding of the politics of cinema.

COMM 35008 - Film & Television Genres & Styles Course Credit: 1
Maximum Credit: 0
(COMS, FILM, WGSS)
Film and Television Genres and Styles This course introduces students to film aesthetics through the analysis of film form and style. The course aims to provide students with a fluency in and understanding of film’s unique language as it evolves technologically, historically and generically. Beyond teaching students how to recognize and describe formal choices and techniques, students will be asked to engage in close readings of films, attending to the greater aesthetic significance and stakes of formal choices and innovations evident within a particular film, directorial oeuvre, period or movement. This course provides students with an introduction to genre studies facilitated through an overview of a sampling of highly contemporary film and television genres. As the course uses genre studies to introduce students to the synergized yet stratified film and television industries, each genre is represented through one film example and one example from television, creating a closely comparative study of genres across different yet related industrial spheres. In this class, we will ask the following questions: What are the generic tropes associated with certain genres? Can a film or television show belong to more than one genre? Does a film’s or television show’s genre stay the same over time? Does a genre-based view expand or delimit our conception of a motion picture? These are some of the many questions, concerns and misconceptions raised by the study of film and television through genre.

CMLT 29003 - Surrealism: Europe and the Caribbean Course Credit: 1
Maximum Credit: 0
(LAST)
SURREALISM: EUROPE AND CARIBBEAN SURREALISM From the 1920s through the 1960s Surrealism emerged as an avant-garde literary, political and artistic movement that took Western Europe, and, later, the Caribbean, by storm. As we explore some of the main surrealistic films, literature and art of Spain, France, Mexico, Haiti, Cuba, and Martinique, we will consider how surrealism defined itself as a literary, cultural, and political movement; how surrealism transformed itself as it moved from Europe to the Caribbean; and how surrealism is situated within debates about politics, nationalism, and identity. Likely texts for the class include novels by Andre Breton and Alejo Carpentier; films by Luis Bunuel and Jean Cocteau, poetry by Aime Cesaire and Robert Desnos, and paintings by Salvador Dali, Rene Magritte, and Wifredo Lam.

CMLT 29004 - Filming the Occult Course Credit: 1
Maximum Credit: 0
(GMDS)
FILMING THE OCCULT Ever since the public announcement of the invention of photography in 1839, photographic processes have been widely credited with the ability to reveal that which cannot be perceived by the human eye. This belief led to the widespread production of what were known as spirit photographs-pictures of discarnate beings and miraculous phenomena. Most of these photographs were revealed to be fakes, but the idea that film could reveal an occult world influenced the development of cinema at the end of the nineteenth century. Many of the first movies involved the production of “ghosts” (indeed one of the early “film projectors” was called a phantoscope). In this course we will examine the close relationship that film has always had to the occult. We will view such varied films as the early works of the Méliès brothers, the German Expressionism of Robert Wiene and F. W. Murnau, the Japanese adaptations of Kaidan (traditional ghost stories) and even the schlock shock of William Castle. Reading widely in both the history of cinema and the psychological underpinnings of the uncanny, our goal will be to come to some theoretical understanding of the place of the occult in cinema-a place that at once calls attention to its own invisibility and yet appeals to our irrational belief that cinema can reveal that which is unseen. Prerequisite(s): ENGL-120xx or permission of the instructor [AH]
