WGS 3075 Film Theory
This course will examine the range of theory about film and other media through readings, discussions and viewings of selected films. The writings of earlier film theorists such as Munsterberg, Dulac, Eisenstein, Kracauer, and Bazin provide a base for the examination of more recent theories rooted in genre and authorship studies, semiotics, Marxism, psychoanalysis, feminism, cultural studies, audience and fan reception, and links to other media, including TV and video games.
