课程设置说明
核心课程
Michaelmas Term(秋季学期)
核心课程由两条脉络组成。第一条主线是“移动影像理论化”(Theorizing Moving Images)将古典和当代电影/媒体理论与美学理论相结合。第二主线是“电影和屏幕研究的主题”,探讨了一系列特定的研究领域(例如,早期电影)和方法论问题(例如,电影研究在历史背景下的解释)。
电影和屏幕研究研究研讨会
Michaelmas-Lent(秋季-春季学期)
我们预期是学生将参加我们所有的研讨会。通常,在这些研讨会之前,需要与该周的(通常是来访的)演讲者进行非正式对话。在四旬期和复活节期开始之前,将要求学生提交对这些大师班和研讨会的回应/反思的档案。如果由于任何紧迫的原因而无法在给定的一周内工作,则必须选择另一个与主题有关的研究研讨会(在剑桥或其他地方),以作为回应的对象。每篇档案应在250到500个字之间。该档案未经评估,但硕士项目的召集人将提供反馈。
口头报告
学生将成对或小组合作进行演示,并在“移动影像理论化”讨论会上进行演讲。这些将在学期开始前举行的初步会议中分配。演讲是强制性的,但不对最终分数产生影像。
学业评估
学生将选择一个独立的论文主题,并由核心课程的教师教学(以及在特定年份不进行核心课程教学的电影和屏幕研究的教师指导)。论文必须以某种有意义的方式参与其中任一环节中至少一个核心环节的要求阅读。

主线2:电影与屏幕研究主题
Strand 2: Topics in Film and Screen Studies
1.Early Cinema: Time, Space, and the Aesthetic of Attraction
Dr. Maite Conde
This seminar will examine early cinema, considering especially how the novelty displayed what Tom Gunning calls an 'aesthetic of attractions’. The seminar will be divided into two parts: first we will explore questions of time and space in early films, as well as their links with wider contemporary cultures of display and entertainment, with scientific advances and technology and how these were part of the invention of modern life. We will also consider how the aesthetics of attraction, rather than disappear, is manifested in contemporary cinema, from the avant-garde to new digital movies. In the second part, the seminar will crucially consider what the very concept of early cinema itself raises about technologies of the body and gender. Specifically, we will consider the body and role of women in early cinema, including as spectators, and how this intersects with questions of time and space in early films and also raises further questions regarding ways of looking and early forms of spectatorship. We will end by considering how questions of gender are implicated in the development of narrative films.

2. Media Archaeology
Caroline Bassett
This seminar will explore Media Archaeology, understood as a theoretical intervention into media history and as a methodology for undertaking research into contemporary techno-cultural forms and practices. Media archaeology has taken a distinct form in film studies, notably via the work of Thomas Elsaesser. But it has also developed in expansive ways in associated fields, becoming increasingly influential in software studies, critical medium theory, and code studies. This session explores the claims of media archaeology through a consideration of Kittler as a representative of early German medium theory, through an engagement with contemporary media archaeology drawing on Wolfgang Ernst and Jussi Parikka’s definitional work, and by exploring intersections between media archaeological approaches and critical digital and code studies (via the work of Wendy Chun). Finally, we will consider what these medium specific approaches enable – and what they foreclose on. Does the focus on the materiality of media systems and the claim to provide a form of post-ideological analysis found in some of this work mean matters of race, class, and gender bias, are systematically excluded from consideration?

3. Cinema and Decolonization
Joanna Page (jep29@cam.ac.uk)
This seminar will explore filmmaking as a tool of political revolution and liberation in colonial and neocolonial contexts. We will focus primarily on two major films of the 1960s: Pontecorvo’s The Battle of Algiers (Italy-Algeria, 1966) and Solanas and Getino’s The Hour of the Furnaces (Argentina, 1968), widely considered to be the best example of 'Third Cinema’, a movement that emerged in Latin America as a political and aesthetic response to neocolonialism. Drawing on the work of postcolonial thinkers such as Aimé Césaire and Frantz Fanon, we will examine the extent to which these directors succeed in producing a 'cinema of decolonization’. Their strategies will be compared with very different ones employed in other key political films of the 1960s, by Jorge Sanjinés (Bolivia) and Glauber Rocha (Brazil), among others. These films continue to incite controversy in our own time for their depiction of political violence and its role in revolution, and/or for their representation of indigenous culture and subjectivity. In the final part of the seminar, we will trace the relationship between these theories and practices, arising in the 1960s, with more contemporary decolonial thought emerging from /on Latin America, and with more recent productions such as Estrellas/Stars (Argentina, 2007).

4. Hollywood Stardom: Greta Garbo in Grand Hotel (1932)
Kasia Boddy (kjb18@cam.ac.uk)
This seminar provides an introduction to the Hollywood studio system of the early sound era and the importance of stardom within it. It focuses on Greta Garbo, one of the few actors who made a successful transition from silent films to talkies, and on Grand Hotel (MGM, 1932), a film which exploits Garbo’s earlier star persona (in particular her much quoted desire to 'be alone’). We’ll explore Grand Hotel as a multi-star vehicle, fulfilling MGM’s promise to provide 'more stars than there are in heaven’. In particular, we’ll consider how Garbo’s star persona contrasts with that of Joan Crawford, and how the hotel setting works to bring them together. We’ll look at the relationship between star personae and characterisation - how, for example, might a star’s interaction with space and particular objects work? - and consider how acting styles evolved from the silent to the sound era. We will also briefly discuss the impact of Hollywood’s Production Code (which came after Grand Hotel was made), the role of fashion and make-up in the making and selling of stars, and the importance of fan magazines (and particular communities of fans). Finally, we’ll investigate the elusive notions of 'aura’ and 'charisma’.

5. Screening Gender
Leila Mukhida (lm783@cam.ac.uk)
This seminar will explore the aesthetic strategies employed by filmmakers in three films whose protagonists have genders different from those assigned to them at birth: Tangerine (2015), Boys Don’t Cry (1999) and XXY (2008). The films studied in this seminar may fall under the category of 'queer cinema’; they are interested in both gender identity (location of the self as a gendered subject) and its intersections with sexual identity (location of desire). This seminar will ask students to refer to key theories on gender and sexuality in their close readings of the films. We will ask: what kind of a spectatorial 'gaze’ and pleasure is produced when we watch trans bodies on screens? What kinds of visual language and expression are employed, e.g. what role does colour play in the images of trans women of colour in Tangerine? Is it possible to identify a queer or trans temporality in the films?
Priority Screening
Boys Don’t Cry (Kimberly Peirce, 1999) Content warning: please note that some of the films discussed in this seminar depict sexual violence.

6. Cinema and (Urban) Space
Geoffrey Kantaris (egk10@cam.ac.uk)
This seminar will examine the symbiosis between film and space, with a particular focus on the urban, taken as part of a broader problematic concerned with representations of space and spaces of representation (to use the terms coined by Lefebvre). We will look at theories of urban and global/geopolitical space, from David Harvey and Ed Soja to Fredric Jameson, and consider some key moments in which the mutual constitution of cinema and city is manifest, with a major film from the silent era, a 1950s film noir parody set in Mexico, and a key example of cyberpunk from the 1980s.

7. Adaptation, Intermediality and Transmedia Storytelling
Heather Inwood (hi208@cam.ac.uk)
This seminar will explore ways of approaching cinema’s relationship to and dependency on other forms of media, drawing upon examples of East Asian cinema as our main case studies (alongside a recent Spielberg blockbuster!). By employing theoretical terms such as adaptation, intermediality, remediation and transmedia storytelling, scholars aim to understand how different media relate to each other and, in both conscious and unconscious, explicit and implicit ways, draw upon pre-existing cultural forms in the process of aesthetic (re)creation and storytelling. Some of the questions we will come across in this seminar include: is there such a thing as “pure” cinema? What is meant by a supposedly medium-specific term such as “visual media” and does it hold up to scrutiny? What kinds of things should we pay attention to when considering the ways in which cinema adapts or remediates other media and cultural texts – and how, in particular, can we move beyond the longstanding obsession with fidelity? How does the concept of intermediality differ from that of intertextuality? How is cinema today, as in the past, situated within a broader network or “mix” of media forms and what are the social, philosophical, aesthetic and commercial considerations that underpin such a network? And, finally, how should all of this affect the way we study cinema and other forms of screen-based media now and in the future?
