ENGL 4350

In this course, we will study a particular topic in film studies, such as a theme, a filmmaker, a genre, or a time period, as selected by the instructor. We will analyze the topic and films from a selection of relevant critical perspectives. Seminar students will actively engage in the learning community of the classroom by giving and responding to presentations on the topic at hand. Students may take part in a symposium. In addition to attending class regularly, students may be required to attend scheduled film screenings outside of regular class time. See the English Department website for past, current, and future topics. Note: Students may take this course more than once for credit, provided the topic is different. Students are expected to have some knowledge of the critical language of film studies. If they do not, they should consult with the instructor before registering for this course.
