Course Objectives: | This course is directed towards the comprehension and evaluation of popular cinema and popular films within a historical and cultural context. |
The students who have succeeded in this course; 1. Recognize the conception of popular cinema. 2. Identify the conception of genre. 3. Analyze the conflict between originality and genre. 4. Define different genres 5. Discuss the history of sci-fi genre 6. Analyze genre movies with a social perspective 7. Analyze genre movies with a historical perspective 8. Analyze genre movies with a political perspective 9. Evaluate the history of horror genre 10. Analyze genre movies with with an emphasis on genre issues 11. Analyze genre movies with an emphasis on desire. 12. Analyze genre movies with an emphasis on class issues. |
The course will start with the problems of definition of genre, with special emphasis given to specific iconographies of genres. Then, the course will deal with the issue of originality within the context of genre. Finally, case studies of two specific genres, science-fiction and horror, will be covered. |
