''We all go a little mad sometimes': Reading Film with Hitchcock
Prüfungsimmanente Lehrveranstaltung
Labels
Alfred Hitchcocks body of work spans six decades of British and American cinema, from the silent era through Hollywoods Golden Age to the New Hollywood of the 60s and 70s. Long undervalued as a Master of Suspense, Hitchcocks legacy has been reevaluated to that of a modernist auteur who blurred previous distinctions between popular and high culture. As a technical innovator, Hitchcock demonstrated that diverse cinematic techniques could be shaped into a powerful storytelling language. As a storyteller, he showed how this film language could be used to explore various twentieth-century concepts, anxieties, and thematic concerns, from murder and (im)morality, to eroticism and shared guilt, love and duty, psychoanalysis and death. For students interested developing greater media literacy in regard to film and popular culture, Hitchcocks works are vital texts, and his influence on contemporary directors from Martin Scorsese to Christopher Nolan is profound and lasting.In this course we will watch and discuss a key Hitchcock film from each era in order to introduce students to the central theoretical approaches and conceptual/technical tools of film and critical media studies. In the process, students will gain greater critical appreciation of (1) the technical tools of film by exploring how Hitchcock conveys narrative with images rather than dialogue, creates meaning through the framing of shots, and solicits certain effects through sound and editing; (2) the history of film by considering how Hitchcock exploits and evolves various film schools and genres (Soviet montage, German Expressionism, French New Wave); and (3) various theoretical concepts and analytical methodologies associated with film and visual text analysis (visual Semiotics, Gender studies, Psychoanalysis, neo-Marxism).

Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
Students will be required to attend screenings throughout the semester on Thursday 10-12 Room 5 (or else organise an alternative means of viewing the films). A typical class will consist of a short introduction by the lecturer on a technical aspect of the film we have viewed and how it relates to a particular theme or theoretical concept. This will be followed by 2-3 student presentations. We will then hold small-group discussions on these techniques, themes, and critical methodologies as they relate to the film (or specific clips we can re-watch in class), sometimes in relation to a short secondary text students will have been asked to read in advance. Thematic and theoretical topics for discussion will include: The Double Chase Plot; Doubles; Erotics and Voyeurism; Love and Duty; Shared Guilt; Meta-Cinema; Ideology; Representations of Gender.
