  • SCRN 119: History of U.S. Film Until 1950

    1.00 Credits
    Clark University

    Fall 2011 Sin Cities. This course will examine the history of cinema in the United States from its beginnings until 1950. We will address such issues as: the development of film technology in America, the industry’s relocation from New York to Los Angeles, the consolidation of classical style, the coming of sound, the quintessential American film genres, the star system and the studio system, the impact of the Depression and two World Wars, and the causes and consequences of censorship. At the same time, all screenings and selected readings for this course will be centered on the theme of modern urbanization. Jean Baudrillard has said that “The American city seems to have stepped right out of the movies.” This course will attempt to render the city visible in cinema, while illuminating the cinematic aspects of the city. We will especially seek to understand the social and ideological stakes of one of Hollywood’s favored dichotomies: the corrupt, debased and too-sexy “sin city” versus the supposed wholesomeness of rural life (and later the tame normalization of the suburbs). This is a PLS cluster course, correlating with SOC125 (Cities and Suburbs), which is also offered in Fall 2011.

  • SCRN 261: Critical Perspectives on Television

    1.00 Credits
    Clark University

    Pursues fundamental questions about television through the complex mechanisms of contemporary criticism and popular culture. To understand how television functions, for instance, you must understand certain aspects of its mechanics, economics and politics. To understand what television means to people, we confront a matrix of even more varied human dimensions, which are more difficult to identify. How is television studied? How is meaning created through the audio/visual domain of television? How does that meaning come to be popular? What is at stake in the production and consumption of television?

  • SCRN 263: Studies In French Cinema

    1.00 Credits
    Clark University

    French cinema has been an especially successful Eurpean cinema for over a century. It has defined film as an art form and as a major site of national cultural production. Distinctive films can be found in every historical period, from the earliest "cinema of attractions" to today's auteur films and popular genre movies. Of the major world cinemas, French cinema has also been the most successfully nationalist: the French government has supported the industry, critics and policymakers have campaigned against Hollywood dominance, and filmmakers have been active in local and global politics. The focus of the course varies each time it is given. We may examine a particular filmmaker, movement, or arts tradition, a genre or comparison of genres, or a particular theme such as immigration, the representation of history, or sexual explicitness in recent films. Taught in English. Prerequisite: SCRN 010 or permission. Prerequisite:    SCRN 010 or permission.

  • SCRN 291: Capstone Course Variable topics

    1.00 Credits
    Clark University

    Beginning with an historical overview of different theoretical approaches to the study of science fiction film, this course examines the ways in which the genre articulates social questions and experience. Through the examination of cinematic form and style, this course focuses specifically on the array of utopian and dystopian representations of the “imagined city of future” in Hollywood science fiction cinema. Analyzing science-fiction films from the 1950s to the present, this course explores issues including: 1) futuricity and the increased representation of apocalyptic visions of the future; 2) the role of technology in the imagined future; 3) the shifting registers of humanity in the future (cyborgs, aliens, robots, droids, hybrids, etc.); and 4) social stratification, hierarchy, and marginalization of future society in terms of race, class, and gender. Through critical reading, thinking, and writing, students will gain insight into the cinematic (visual and aural) constitution of the urban landscape in relation to the social construction of the future city in terms of racial, classed, and gendered dynamics. Prerequisite:    SCRN 101 or Permission.
