Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
This seminar explores the theoretical aspects of a philosophy of film: How is the multiple nature of films to be understood? What is the ontological status of film? – But closely related to these questions we will also explore questions that arise from the theory of art: What do we see when we see the moving images of a film? Beginning with Benjamin this seminar is an introduction to philosophy of film. Philosophical texts by Cavell, Deleuze and Walton (amongst others) will be discussed.Teaching method: Introductory lectures, group work, short presentations, discussions.Aim: Ideally, students will further their ability to produce good arguments and to critically read theoretical texts.
Assessment and permitted materials
The texts for the specific assignments will be provided on moodle and the homework has to be handed in three days prior to the next session. Giving a short presentation in class reduces the number of written assignments from seven to six.
A minimum of seven short written texts is the basis for a positive grade in this class. Attendance is expected, two unexplained absences per term are permitted.
