Narratives exist in an ambivalent relationship with the
ideologies that inhabit and shape a culture. They can
mobilize dominant ideologies and serve as vehicles for their
dissemination, or they can undercut such dominance and give
seductive shape to new and subversive ideologies. We will
investigate the relationship of narrative to ideology by
using films as our primary narrative texts. The course
combines detailed interpretation of the structure of
individual films with film criticism and cultural theory.
It will meet once a week, in the evening, for at least four
hours. Classes begin at 7 and tend to run past 11.
MAJOR READINGS
Selections from cultural studies, narrative
and critical theory, as well as reviews and articles on
specific films.
EXAMINATIONS AND ASSIGNMENTS
Two short papers and a longer
final paper.
