The Golden Age of European Cinemas
Vincent Bouchard
French & Italian
Monday class meets in Wells library screening room (048); Wednesday class meets in HU 217.
Taking a comparative, transnational approach, this course offers an overview of European cinema as an evolving art and as a means of tracing the evolution of technology, aesthetic, and representation during the twentieth century. We will also investigate how cinema was shaped by other media (like popular fairs, dances, religious ceremonies, novels, theatre, political rally, opera, radio shows, music recordings, etc.). In so doing, our study of film will naturally touch upon a variety of other disciplines, such as history, sociology, media, and cultural studies.
Non-mandatory, but strongly recommended, film showings are organized on Mondays 2:15-4:00 pm at IU Wells Libraries Screening Room (048).
