ENGFLM 1293: Amer Photography/Amer Culture
3.00 Credits
University of Pittsburgh-Pittsburgh Campus
Photography’s basic function is to record. So, what and who are worth documenting? Who has the right to photograph, who and what is represented and why? How do images affirm or debunk our stereotypes about “others” and how does difference and identity emerge through photography? American Photography/American Culture explores these questions by examining American Photography of African Americans, Native Americans, union workers, celebrities, the Japanese interned, and more. Photographic work by and of those of varying backgrounds is collectively viewed and discussed in order to further understand photography’s relationship to the social history of race and class in the United States, and to examine ourselves and our relationship to those like/unlike us. American Photography/American Culture spans photography’s early developments until the early part of the 21st century. Photography by those such as Bill Burke, Teenie Harris, James Van Der Zee, Walker Evans, P.H. Polk, Edward S. Curtis, Toyo Miyatake, and Beth Yarnelle Edwards is examined and discussed. Readings from the course packet include essays by leading photo critics and critical theorists such as Theresa Harlan, bell hooks, Vicki Goldberg, Andy Grundberg, Deborah Willis and Karin Higa.

ENGFLM 2475: The Body In The Cinema
3.00 Credits
University of Pittsburgh-Pittsburgh Campus
This course will explore the status of the human body as represented in film, a cultural medium identified with various modes of spectacle. We will begin by a consideration of the body in early precursors to the cinema—for instance Eadweard Muybridge’s photographic “motion studies” or primitive X-ray photography--and work our way up to the contemporary scene (in which digitally created characters (and actors) complicate the corporeal universe). In our engagement of the topic, many class sessions will consider how the body is figured in various film genres (e.g. the musical [in which the body is graceful and choreographed], the melodrama [in which the bodily expresion transcends dialogue], the horror film [in which the abject body perversely transforms], the martial arts film [in which the body is a violent weapon], the romance [in which the beautiful body must attract], the sports film [in which the athletic body shows strength and endurance], the war film [in which the body suffers], the science fiction film [in which the body is a cyborg], the crime film [in which the body leaves clues], and/or the pornographic film [in which the body sexually stimulates the viewer]). Beyond genre, our discussions will also consider such broad theoretical topics as: the gendered body, the aging body, the racial body, the “national” body, and the manner in which film style “transforms” the body (e.g. fragmentation through close-up). Readings on the topic will be drawn not only from Film Studies (e.g. Linda Williams, Lisa Cartwright, Peter Lehman, Steven Shaviro) but from broader Cultural Studies (e.g. Thomas Laquer, Susan Bordo, Elaine Scarry or Helena Michie). Requirements will include a seminar paper and class presentation.
