CRN: 40006
Instructor(s): Jason Cohen
This course offers a broad survey of roughly twenty of Alfred Hitchcock’s films from the First World War to the Cold War era, including an introduction to basic
film conventions and concepts as well as discussions of the cultural contexts that frame Hitchcock’s works. I have organized this class around four thematic
clusters that identify central issues in Hitchcock’s preoccupations on screen. We should make it a goal of this course to ask whether these provisional
categories stand up to our analyses of the films as representative elements of Hitchcock’s work. For this course, our conceptual themes are: desire in and for
the femme fatale; psychological, emotional, and social imbalances; unusual or disruptive familiarity; and finally, the intrusion of the external political world into
the film world. Each of these themes comments on and critiques the exterior world that watches the film, including ours as well as the Director's, as we each
gaze through the cinematic lens. This will be our world to investigate and question. This course requires daily Moodle postings, two analytical essays, and one
exam.

ENG/TAD 266‐Photography and Writing: Tools for Conservation
CRN: 40008(ENG) 40009(TAD)
Instructor(s): Libby Jones & Alan Mills
Since the Civil War, conservationists have helped shape public opinion and federal laws with a unique and powerful tool – the photograph. In today’s world,
conservation organizations such as the Sierra Club, Audubon Society and Greenpeace continue to save species and preserve wild places by arousing the public
with powerful visual images reproduced in wall calendars and large format books. Pairing these images with words – poems, essays, or articles on scientific,
historical, aesthetic, or spiritual dimensions of nature – has been another important means of preserving the earth.
This course is designed for students interested in photographing and preserving our natural environment. Photographic instruction will center on camera use,
composition, and printmaking through PhotoShop and digital story‐telling. Students will also read a variety of nature writings and will experiment with
different forms of nature writing related to their photographic images. Classroom sessions will include philosophical discussions of the viability of using
photography, alone or with writing, to lobby Congress and increase public awareness of conservation issues. Stewardship of the earth’s resources and the role
of nature in spiritual and artistic development will be central themes throughout the course. Thirteen days of the class will be spent in Utah photographing the
southwest landscape of deserts, mountains, and canyons. Local fieldwork will include trips to Indian Fort, Anglin Falls, and Owsley Fork Reservoir

THR 223: Lights, Camera, Africa
CRN: 40013
Instructor(s): Gordon Gray & Tyler Sergent
The continent of Africa has featured prominently in the cinema output of the West. Less well known are the cinematic traditions within African countries. This
course will cover both of these issues, beginning with film examples of the portrayals of Africa and Africans in Western cinema over time and continuing with
recent examples of the ways in which Africa and Africans feature in the Western imagination. The focus of the class then switches to cinema outputs from
African cinema industries. We will look both at some of the more famous and critically acclaimed films from the post‐Independence period to locally focused
and immensely popular colloquial cinemas. Through these experiences and discussions, students will become acquainted with the role/s of Africa in Western
popular imagination and culture and the ways in which African filmmakers have used cinema to both comment on post‐colonial Africa as well as to entertain
audiences from within African visual and oral traditions of storytelling. Viewing cinema tells us much about the political, cultural, aesthetic, and dramaturgical
traditions of the countries in which these films were produced – in this case both Western countries such as the USA and United Kingdom as well as African
countries such as Senegal and Nigeria. To that end, students will critically view a series of Western feature films regarding Africa and feature films produced
within African countries. Students will then provide analysis of these films via three 5‐8 page reviews that include topics, themes, and subject matter relevant
to the particular films and of relevance to their major. The work culminates in a final essay. The class is organized as a series of film viewings on Tuesdays,
Wednesdays, and Thursdays, with seminars Mondays and Fridays.
