This course explores traditional film genres and the contemporary practice of mixed genre films that address the increasing demand for cultural entertainment reflecting the diversity and mobility of our national and global cultures. After an initial study of key film genres such as the Western, gangster film, film noir, melodrama, musical, war film, and comedy, we will examine recent mixed genre films such as Joker (Todd Philipps); Parasite (Joon-ho Bong), and Black Panther (Coogler), etc. Our goal is to understand how an intersectional mix of genres helps to articulate contemporary culture in its complexity and its sophisticated forms of cultural representation and entertainment.

Spring 2023 Course Details: Creative Nonfiction

Creative nonfiction employs the imagery of a poet, the drama of a novelist, and the content drive of a journalist. In this class, we will do all of that in 500-1,000, words. Flash nonfiction is an ever-popular form of true story telling, requiring a tight focus, a reliance on symbol and detail, and the discipline to complete a story with meaning and precision in few words. Writers of flash have a lot of fun with form – think poetry, think one very long sentence, think lists – and revision. It is difficult, probably impossible, to carve a complete tale in 750-words on a first, or even second try. Flash teaches us to squash the excess and celebrate the key word, the key image, the key moment. Students will read a wide variety of flash nonfiction, produce weekly essay drafts, and critique each other’s work with generosity and specifics.
