This upper-level seminar explores central currents in film theory. Among the ideas, movements and concepts we examine are formalist, realist, structuralist, psychoanalytic, feminist, and poststructuralist theories, as well as auteur, genre, queer and cultural studies approaches to questions regarding the nature, function and possibilities of cinema. We also consider how new media and new media theories relate to our experience in film and film theory. We understand film theory readings through the sociocultural context in which they were and are developed.

For students engaged in independent projects or research in connection with Japanese, Chinese or Korean language and literature.

The chief goals of the course are to expand vocabulary and conversational skills, strengthen grammar, and learn about key social, cultural and historical issues of the Spanish-speaking world. Vocabulary and grammar are taught within the context of the specific themes chosen to enhance students' familiarity with the "reality" of Spanish-speaking countries.
