This course examines film as both a cultural expression and an artistic medium that can be analyzed in relation to the structural, aesthetic, and rhetorical features of literary works. Students will view selected films, read literary texts that relate to or correspond with these films, utilize applicable critical materials, and respond through academic discussions, analytical essays, and research-based assignments. In doing so, students will gain a deeper and more nuanced understanding of film as text, as well as gaining insight into the contexts that enrich, inform, and help explain the cultural appeal and power of visual narrative.
