In this course, we will examine whether Hitchcock’s films can be said to constitute a coherent “body” of work – identifying in the procespotential stylistic idiosyncrasies and thematic preoccupations. And we will try to come to some understanding of what is gained and what is lost by thinking in these terms. We will use Hitchcock’s desire to develop a rigorously cinematic mode of presentation as a means of opening a discussion about the ways films “speak.” And we will wonder, alongwith a handful of contemporary critics, what kind of viewer the films seek to construct. We will take the films’ explicit interest in watching as a point of departure for an analysis of voyeurism and its centrality in contemporary western culture. Finally, and not incidentally, we will use the occasion the course provides to spend time watching a number of engaging films. Prerequisites: ENG 102, ENG 200/ENG 218.
