This course introduces students to the history and aesthetics of American cinema since the end of the Hollywood studio system. We will conduct an “historical poetics” of American cinema, as we seek to understand the historical conditions that enabled American films to assume their aesthetic design at the time they were made. We will consider the major topics discussed by historians of the period, including the break-up of the motion picture studios, demographic changes, the film ratings system, the “blockbuster syndrome,” the “event film,” indie filmmaking, home video, globalization, and other stuff like that. Throughout, we will study American movies as movies—as experiences for spectators—and we will never stray far from our central question and the only question about the cinema that I care much about: What is it about the movies people enjoy that makes people enjoy them?

Senior Seminar in Film Study: New Approaches to Film Aesthetics - 20812 - FST 496 - 001

What makes a movie interesting, pleasurable, engaging, emotionally affecting, thought-provoking, or beautiful? How does a film’s artistic design affect our cinematic experience? Film researchers working in aesthetics seek to answer these questions, and many recent scholars have extended the investigation in exciting

new directions. Their work illuminates not just aesthetic experience but also related issues of ideology, philosophy, psychology, and national identity, as well as film history, film technology, and the film industry. This course showcases innovative recent approaches to film aesthetics, illustrating the potential of this work to illuminate key aspects of the cinema. We will study a range of scholars (from film studies, psychology, and philosophy) working in film aesthetics today and watch movies from a variety of countries and periods. Wherever we are in the course, we will not be far from our central question and the only question about the cinema that I think much about: What is it about the movies people enjoy that makes people enjoy them?

Senior Seminar in Film Study: Ethnographic Film - 20824 - FST 496 - 003

In this course, we will study the history of ethnographic cinema, grappling with issues—aesthetic, theoretical, and political—related to cross-cultural representation. How does ethnographic filmmaking differ from other kinds of non-fiction film practice? What is the relationship between film and anthropology? Students will examine the context in which ethnographic films emerged, key films that helped define the genre, their various formal strategies, as well as the historical, social and political contexts in which such strategies have been used and

hotly debated. We will also explore indigenous media production in Australia and Latin America as well the emerging genre of sensory ethnography. Attributes: UnvStdy Capstone, UnvStdy Critical Reasoning, UnvStdy Writing Intensive

Senior Seminar in Film Studies: Film Comedy - 20709 - FST 496 - 004

Why do comedy films make us laugh? To what degree is humor subjective, and to what degree is it science? Are its mechanisms culturally specific or universal? And are there inherent differences between film comedy and other comedic media forms, such as televised stand-up or viral videos? Drawing upon the work of scholars from Aristotle to Sigmund Freud to Henri Bergson, this capstone course will analyze comedy films from diverse styles, periods, and national cinemas. From slapstick to satire, and from gross-out to cringe comedy, why should we take humor seriously? Attributes: UnvStdy Capstone, UnvStdy Critical Reasoning, UnvStdy Writing Intensive
