Starting with retrofuturism and the steampunk origins in Victorian England and the Industrial Revolution, we will explore the historical and sociopolitical background of the genre. Jules Verne and the fascination with technological progress will be the starting point of our discussion, along with the modern aesthetics of cogs, wheels, time machines and re-imagining the past. Examples will include George Méliès A Trip to the Moon, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Hellboy, Hayao Miyazaki’s animation films and Doctor Who.
Moving forward to cyberpunk film and literature, we will explore what the two genres have in common and how cyberpunk is concerned with social inequalities in an imagined technologically advanced near future. Examples we will analyse include Blade Runner, Ghost in the Shell and The Matrix. The students will learn different approaches of text, film and media analysis, including comparative criticism, posthumanism and new historicism.Ziele
Upon successful completion of this course, students will: -Have developed more general film and media analysis skills, in particular, regarding genre. -Have developed their ability to discuss texts and films in a written and oral manner through presentations, in-class discussions and sequence analyses. -Have experience in critical analysis of texts and films using different theoretical approaches such as new historicism, posthumanism and comparative criticism.Methoden
Interactive lectures and seminars that include film screenings, sequence analyses and group discussions, so that students are encouraged to participate and develop confidence in building up and expressing their critical thinking. Students are given feedback which they can then incorporate in their assignments, which reinforces their analytical skills and pursuing their own research.
