Course Description
This course is designed specifically for graduate students interested in expanding their understanding of film and media studies. It provides an in-depth introduction to the history of the field (including the history of film theory and debates about film and the other arts, film and reality, and film and the spectator/audience), and considers multiple approaches to film analysis. It also explores recent innovations in the field, exploring the increasingly complex and convergent relationships among film, television, the internet, and other areas of popular culture in an era of globalization.
