Fall 2024 Special Topic: Literature & Medicine

Focusing on the intersections between literature and medicine, this course is for anyone curious about the cultural dimensions of medicine. With the help of literature, we will read and write about the enduring questions that arise around situations and experiences the body and mind undergo when sick, recovering, suffering, or dying. We will examine historical and visual texts that enhance our understanding of medicine and of literature, two discourses with affiliations that go back centuries.  Ranging over several centuries and cultures, the works selected help us define key historical moments as well as urgent contemporary issues with respect to the body, human and sometimes nonhuman. Collectively, the literary texts we will read illuminate the experience of illness (pain, suffering, sympathy etc.); explore the nature of medical practice and disease in various cultures and  the way the medical is intertwined with the politics underlying these realms of human experience;  provide a historical perspective on all of the foregoing. Texts will be drawn from different genres (fiction, essay, and drama), national cultures, and historical periods.

Pin on All About Movies and TV Shows

This course examines the emergence of sci-fi films from cheaper and sensational B genre productions into ambitious and costly A genre films raising serious social and cultural questions. As imagined utopian or dystopian spaces, sci-fi films address contemporary issues of technology, standardization, authoritarian rule, invasion of privacy and surveillance. From within worlds of seemingly sanitized order, sci-fi films focus on troubling questions of health and immunology, genetics, eugenics, race, class, and gender. On a conceptual level, sci-fi films challenge perceptual notions of space and time and erase the difference between simulation and reality in their imagined cyber worlds. We will explore the relation of future oriented cinematic worlds to the cultural present in which they are screened. Classic sci-fi films (e.g. 2001: A Space Odyssey) will be examined along with more recent films (e.g. Children of Men, District 9; Minority Report). Particular attention will be paid to the variety of genres invoked by sci-fi films ranging from horror (Alien), to mystery (Ex-Machina) epic superhero (The Matrix) noir (Blade Runner), and the recent Dune series by Dennis Villeneuve.

We will examine basic theories of film and their relationship to the practice of “close analysis.” How do film theorists discuss the experience of film, spectatorship, apparatus, and production in a variety of theoretical contexts and explore major film theories such as those of formalism, realism, auteurism, star/celebrity culture, gender, psychoanalysis, genre, race, cultural and media studies? Theories are meant to provide students with a vocabulary for close analysis of film and will stress the many ways of seeing and experiencing film. Our primary responsibility will be finding ways to speak and write about film and its significance as a complex aesthetic and social sign. Films discussed in class iinclude works by Quentin Tarantino, Wes Anderson, Coen Brothers, Christopher Nolan, Ryan Coogler, Kathryn Bigelow, Lana and Lily Wachowski, Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, Benny and Josh Safdie, Peter Jackson, and Alejandro Iñárritu.
