This course explores some central texts and topics in contemporary film and TV criticism. We will be reading critical and theoretical works on images of women, psychoanalytic theories of the gaze, auteur studies of mise-en-scene and montage, the making of masculinities in voice and narrative, and studies of viewer response and generic approaches. We will also critique the TV texts of drama sequels, MTV, variety shows and commercials in terms of the economic, aesthetic, and ideological characteristics of the television medium. By the end of the term, students will be able to employ various critical perspectives in order to analyze how a film or TV program represents gender, race, class, and sexuality. Assigned readings are due on the day scheduled. Students should come to class having read the assigned material, having thought about it, and having questions or ideas about it. |
