Course:
COMM 327 Authors and Genres (3)
Prof. Balides, Prof. Ukadike, and Staff. Prerequisite: COMM 315. Questions of authorship and of genre are two key paradigms of film criticism. This course examines the aesthetic and theoretical bases for notions of authorship and genre in the cinema including romantic theories of art, auteur criticism, structuralism, and post structuralism. It also considers the historical development of the oeuvre of individual directors as "authors" (e.g. Hitchcock) and of particular film genres both in Hollywood cinema (e.g. film noir) and in non-mainstream and non-U.S. cinema. Genres and directors studied will change. May be repeated up to two times on different topics with approval of the Film Studies Director.
