"AI" Hybrid: T 15:30 - 16:45 in person, otherwise online asynchronous For centuries, artists, writers, and filmmakers have been fascinated with artificial intelligence. While scientists create sentient machines, art explores their imaginative possibilities and asks probing questions about the ever-increasing presence and influence of artificial beings in our daily lives. We will read classics of science fiction by Hoffmann, Capek, Lem, the Strugatsky Brothers, Asimov, and Pelevin, as well as contemporary cyberpunk and biopunk, and examine artificial beings on canvas and screen. We will consider the aesthetics, politics, and ethics of human-machine assemblages, relations and interactions. Students will also be able to engage and collaborate with educational AI for various tasks and reflect upon the pros and cons of its mediating presence.

3 hours It has been argued that systematic political terrorism was invented in late imperial Russia, though political assassinations were frequent in the late 19th and early 20th centuries worldwide.

"Introduction to Film Theory and CEE Film Historiography " This course will introduce the central questions of film theory and historiography to graduate students who want to pursue these topics at the professional level. What is film history? What is film theory? Are these ideas different from History capital H or Theory capital T? Do film theory and film history always clash? Where do the media named digital, new, or social fit in among these questions? While we will discuss ideas that are not grounded in any specific geographical region, many of our examples and case studies will be taken from the unique histories of Central and Eastern European cinemas. No prior language skills or specific, regional knowledge is required: all texts and films will be accessible in English translation. Theoretical readings will include Freud, Benjamin, Eisenstein, Vertov, Kracauer, Metz, Jameson, Doane, Silverman, and many others. Texts will be read alongside films and clips from Eisenstein, Lang, Tarkovskii, Fassbinder, Muratova, and more.
