AS 061.421 - History & Film

Institution:

Johns Hopkins University

Subject:

Description:

This course explores the intersection between historiography – that is, the theory of history – and its relationship to the moving image. How does film as a medium relate to history as a concept? How does film express its own form of an idea of history? How is film, perhaps, itself historical in the way it works? In this course, we will read the work of Walter Benjamin, Frederich Neitzsche, and Jeffrey Skoller, among others. Students are expected to enter the course ready to engage in discussion. Lecture Tuesday 1:30-4pm, Screening Monday 7:30-10pm. $40 Lab fee
