Picking up on the concept of a "minor use of a major language" as developed by Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, this class wants to explore how to rework and reframe film history by making minor use of its major film texts (e.g. focusing on supposedly minor detail in a famous film in order to deconstruct, and/or decolonize it etc.) There are absolutely no prerequisites for participants.
This course will meet September 6, 13, 20.
