ENGL 2312 – International Film as Literary Art

SE 3

3

Block

keine Angabe

Englisch

An introduction to the literary art of film based on representative international films. Completion of ENGL 2311 is recommended.

This course is designed to provide students with an introduction to International film as a form of narrative “text” that incorporates the techniques of image and sound as well as the purely literary techniques of the printed word. We will consider the narrative possibilities of film by examining the language and techniques of International film that shape our understanding of them as “texts.” We will also be comparing and contrasting the historical and cultural contexts of these films' countries of origin to that of the United States. This course should be considered as a literature course that studies and interprets the films of different cultures as texts. We will view approximately 7 films in class, including works by Renoir, Lang, Truffaut, Bergman, and Antonioni. Students will be expected to attend each film screening, complete quizzes and write short screening reports on the films, compose a four-page paper, and take two exams. Participation and attendance are critical to the success of this class, and will be used to help determine the final grade.

Class Rules & Attendance The University of New Orleans International Summer School program has a mandatory class attendance policy. All students are required to attend class for all classes and any required lectures and field trips. No unexcused absences are allowed. However, UIBK students who have to miss a UNO class due to UIBK examinations in the first two weeks of our program, can receive one excused absence for this. Any further unexcused class days will result in an academic penalty. Each faculty member determines the penalty for missed classes. Most professors deduct a letter grade for each additional missed class day. For details, please refer to your course syllabi, which will be distributed on the first day of class.
