Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab
This course aims to provide students with analytical tools which they can apply to all visual media. By analysing media from different theoretical perspectives, we see how cultural expectations are constructed. Thus media studies teach us to be more analytical and critical of the information we receive. In their individual and group work, students will adopt and adapt the critical tools and perspectives to films of their own choice.
Prüfungsstoff
This course will combine lectures and readings of key theories with their discussion and analysis of the class films. The course requires a viewing response to each film, which will be discussed in groups. Students will also give a short presentation analysis of a key scene in one film. All material will be available on Moodle and in class handouts provided at the beginning of the semester. Students are expected to have watched the films at least once before class starts.
Literatur
Course material and assessment criteria will be made available via the eLearning platform (Moodle), a reading pack distributed in the first class, and a list of recommended readings and viewings.

several well-known films considered mainstream for their cinematic strategies and target Western audience.
The Piano (1993) and Bride and Prejudice (2004), which look at the sexualised role of women and modern-day Western values of sexual equality and agency.
Eyes Wide Shut (1999) and Memoirs of a Geisha (2005) to discuss the market economy of desire and issues of fetishism and transgression.
Whale Rider (2003) and Slumdog Millionaire (2008) to consider the exotic portrayal of indigenous Maori and low-caste Indian communities packaged for mainstream Western audiences.
The Last Samurai (2003) and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000) which exoticise history and sensationalise traditions to create a nostalgia for the past.
