Seminar in Film Studies

Catalog description

This course will examine debates within feminist film theory from structuralism and psychoanalysis in the 1970s to the post-colonial theory, queer theory and post-modernism in the 1990s. Analyses of specific films will focus on the cinematic representation of femininity and masculinity, gendered subjectivities within history and culture, and issues surrounding the cinematic apparatus and spectatorship.
