Section Information for Summer 2019
This class considers movies as economic, aesthetic, and political texts, within historical and cultural contexts. We will look at a variety of generic and genre-bending films in order to discuss representation (communities, individuals, authorities, ambitions) as well as cinematic and digital production and distribution (are films deemed independent or mainstream, and how is such a distinction made, by whom, and to whose benefit?).
Online blog assignments and discussions will focus primarily on formal analyses and cultural frameworks. Films and television may include The Babadook, Bojack Horseman, Black Lightning, The Edge of Democracy, Ex Machina, The Feeling of Being Watched, A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night, Jaws, Jessica Jones, Paris is Burning, Scarface (1932), The Searchers (1956), and Treeless Mountain. Fulfills Mason Core requirement for Arts.
