This course aims to familiarize students with the necessary tools to
critically analyze and historically contextualize cinematic representations of
space and place. With a global emphasis, we will consider the ways in which
cinema defines, reconsiders, and reshapes the notions of place and space. We
will explore various approaches to “cinematic space” by studying a wide array
of themes, concepts, and theories while also considering what happens to
viewer’s sense of space and/or place in different media environments. The
topics of the course will include domesticity, borders and movement, screening
space and spectatorship, cine-museology, national and transnational spaces,
animated worldmaking, and digital realisms. While the focus of the class will
be on historical, social, and cultural distinctions in relation to the spatial
representations on screen, we will also pay precise attention to formal and
stylistic techniques as well as to the narrative and non-narrative organization
of films we analyze. There are no prerequisites. Perfect attendance and active
participation in class is required. Assignments will include readings in film
history and film analysis, in-class assignments, a short film, and a film analysis
presentation.
