This course provides an overview of some of the major developments in European cinema from the post-World War II period to the present. Europe is the home of the art film, and we will analyze this category by looking at various manifestations of this genre from a variety of European nations. The art film initially arose as a reaction to the hegemony of Hollywood after the war; European film industries attempted to support their own national cinemas that often rejected the commercialism and genre formulas of Hollywood films. Post-war European film reflects a complex love-hate relationship with American film, and this will become clear through an examination of the techniques of citation and parody used by European directors. We will learn about major film movements including Italian Neorealism, the French New Wave, New German Cinema, Dogme 95, the cinemas of Eastern Europe before and after the fall of the Iron Curtain, and transnational European cinema. Students will utilize film terminology to analyze individual films that are then situated within their particular historical and cultural contexts. Course Information: Same as GER 207 and SPAN 207. Prerequisite(s): ENGL 160.

This seminar will examine the major trends and schools of literary theory, with a particular focus on the 20th and 21st centuries. The course will equip students with scholarly methodologies for approaching verbal and visual texts and introduce them to some of the key problems or questions that animate theoretical discussion among literary scholars today. These include questions about language and authorship, ideology and hegemony, psychoanalytic symptoms and drives in narratives, the production of cultural value and the status of an aesthetic object, biopolitics and bioethics, and the patriarchal and colonial bases of Western culture. Students will get a chance to reflect upon the very concept of interpretation and their own role as literary and cultural critics. They will investigate and critique various critical methodologies as well as try them out on a short story of their choice. Students will be asked to choose a story and write five short essays (no longer than 5 pages each) from five different critical perspectives during the course of the semester.
