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.

Fall 2024 Course Details

How is the university going to choose a new dean for the College of Liberal Arts? Who decides when to change a study lounge into a built-up triple dorm room? Where can needy families on the Seacoast get a free meal, and why are those places getting busier? Why doesn’t the university build a parking garage?

This is the class where you’ll learn to seek answers to these kinds of questions and tell the true stories they reveal. By researching and writing weekly news articles, you’ll begin to grasp the practice of journalism and better understand the role of journalists in our society.

Responsible, accurate journalism is more important now than it ever was. We’re bombarded with so much information every day that it’s hard to determine what’s reliable and what’s not. The world needs great journalists to tell important stories.

This is a required course for all English/Journalism majors.
