ENGFLM 1790 - FILM AND LITERATURE

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
Long Description Cinema has enjoyed a close relationship with literature, borrowing from literary source texts and forms. Yet this relationship is not uncomplicated, nor is it unidirectional: the cinema offers new possibilities for novelistic source texts, poses interesting problems for literature's authors and readers alike and provokes a reconsideration of age-old debates of the divide between words and images. Thus this course examines film's convergence with, and divergence from, literary forms. Poised at the intersection of the study of film and the study of literature, it enables us to explore what is most unique -- and perhaps most interesting -- about each of the media as we consider their overlap. This is a Critical Studies course and counts for Category II towards the Film and Media Studies major and minor.
