All that Genre allows: Constructing Identities and Disrupting Fantasies in early Hollywood Melodrama and Film Noir
Prüfungsimmanente Lehrveranstaltung
Labels
The class will introduce and familiarise students with the concept of genre films as established by the early Hollywood film industry: the main focus will be on the components of the thriller and the melodrama but other prototypical genre-constructions such as the western and the musical will also be explored.
Early Hollywood melodramas and noir thrillers constructed desirable ideas of identity, gender, nation and history and thus helped to favour a specific discourse about these concepts and yet they also often disrupted these cultural constructs.
