DELC212: Society on Screen: The Language of Film

• Terms Taught: Lent / Summer Terms only
• US Credits: 4 Semester Credits
• ECTS Credits: 7.5 ECTS credits
• Pre-requisites: None

Course Description

How do films deal with aspects of society like migration, environment, artificial intelligence and gender? Do they entertain viewers, instruct them, or both? In what ways do cinematic techniques play a part? This module explores connections between European and Latin American films and their socio-historical contexts. It also considers form and technique: the language of film. To these ends, there will be introductory lectures on cinema and society and on film aesthetics and content in the first week of the module. During the remainder of the module, the connections mentioned will be the focus of seminars and presentations within the four typical topic areas: the environment, gender, artificial intelligence and migration.

Educational Aims

Students view and discuss modern European and Latin American films which highlight the core topics. Lectures will situate the films in terms of the social and historical context of the period and countries in which they were made. Artificial intelligence, migration, the environment and gender, for example, are differently manifested in each of the countries studied. The course will explore the relationship between cinema, such issues and their representation. Students will acquire a broad understanding of cinema of the period (1960s-present) together with an ability to analyse, contextualise and compare varying cinematic representations of a number of themes, together with the techniques used in those representations.

Outline Syllabus

The module consists of two introductory weeks on form and society then four two-week strands on typically the following topics: migration, environment, gender and artificial intelligence. Each strand will be introduced with a lecture and followed by seminars on the set films.

The films mentioned here are indicative only. They are subject to change. The films listed here give you an idea of a typical syllabus and the kinds of films that are analysed: I’m Your Man/Ich bin dein Mensch (Maria Schrader, 2022), My Life in Pink/Ma vie en rose (Alain Berliner, 1997), Tony Manero (Pablo Larraín, 2008) and Dislocation (Jianxin Huang, 1989) and Land and Freedom (Ken Loach, 1995).

DELC364: Latin America and Spain on Film: Violences and Masculinities

• Terms Taught: Lent / Summer Terms only
• US Credits: 4 Semester Credits
• ECTS Credits: 7.5 ECTS credits
• Pre-requisites: None

Course Description

Violence is a consistent feature of the cinemas of Spain and Latin America. The vast majority of violent acts in Latin American and Spanish films are carried out by men, raising specific concerns about the representation of links between men and violence on film. This module looks at key motifs as well as broader themes such as the absent patriarch and depictions of the male body. Students will examine representations of different kinds of violence, including structural, psychological and political violence. You will be expected to discuss the connections made between these and the masculinities with which they are associated. To this end, theoretical support will be given throughout towards current ideas about masculinities and violence in both sociology and cultural studies.

Educational Aims

The aim of this module is to provide students with a grasp of both the historical contexts for violence and masculinities as they are depicted in Spanish and Latin American film as well as an understanding of theoretical approaches which can help to enrich analyses of such violence and evolving masculinities. The course seeks to pluralise violence so that it is understood by students as physical, non-physical, criminal, psychological, structural and invisible. Masculinities will always be considered in the plural. Another aim is to ensure students have the terminology to discuss such contexts and approaches in relation to specific films in a coherent and intellectually appropriate framework.

Students will first be required to view films in historical contexts which highlight key themes in the selected films. Students will be encouraged to observe and analyse structural violence, criminal violence, gender violence and political violence in these films and to understand their relationship with such categories as hegemonic, protest and patriarchal masculinities. Such violence(s) and masculinities will not only be contextualised historically but also approached through theories on aesthetics, film reception, gender and ideology. In this way students will be able to approach questions concerning the 'invisible' nature of domestic violence, violence as a means (or not) of providing 'cheap shocks' and different aesthetic approaches towards the depiction of state violence.

On successful completion of this module students will be able to...

• contextualise Spanish and Latin American films by placing them in their appropriate historical settings and by understanding the relationship between those historical settings and the films concerned.
• apply their historical contextualisation with an understanding of theories of violence and masculinities.
• analyse these films with due reference to the cinematic contexts for each country (eg. censorship, strength of film industry, availability and sources of capital etc.), using appropriate film terminology and critically engaging with existing interpretations of the corpus of films.
• present material on film, learning to juggle effectively stills, secondary sources, dialogue and their own analyses.
• examine cultural products or texts in socio-historical contexts.

Outline Syllabus

There will then be 8 weeks of study of four separate strands, each strand consisting of two weeks study of two films. The strands are: Structural Violence, Crash Cinemas, Gender Violence, Boys and Men. The second hour of the second week of each strand will consist of presentations by students either individually, in pairs or in groups of three.

In a typical year, the films concerned will include Memories of Underdevelopment (Cuba, 1968); La frontera (Chile, 1991); Amores perros (Mexico, 2000); Abre los ojos (Spain, 1997); Camila (Argentina, 1984); Te doy mis ojos (Spain, 2003); City of God (2002) and El espinazo del diablo (Spain, 2001).

The films are in Spanish or Portuguese with English subtitles. The vast majority of secondary texts are in English and the teaching is also in English.

Assessment Proportions

Essay(s): 40% Presentation (Assessed): 15% Exam: 45%

Presentations will be delivered by individuals, pairs, or groups of 3. In pairs and groups, each student will receive the same mark in order to encourage teamwork in the preparation process. Students will be required to deposit their powerpoint presentation on Moodle.

Feedback for both essay and presentation will follow current departmental practice. Presentations will be recorded (audio only) and students will be sent feedback by email. The feedback will contain two to three paragraphs of prose. The essay will focus on one submodule which must not be the submodule they have studied for their presentation. Written feedback will inform revision for the exam.

In the written examination (45%) students will pick one question out of several proposed options and write an essay responding to that question. The questions will address the concepts and material discussed in the lectures and seminars. Students must choose a question on a topic they have not studied in either their presentation or their CWA essay for DELC364.

ENGL378: Children in Horror Fiction and Film

• Terms Taught:
  • Lent / Summer Terms only
• US Credits: 4 Semester Credits
• ECTS Credits: 7.5 ECTS Credits
• Pre-requisites:
  • Must have significant previous studies in English Literature.
  • This is a strict quota module, and there will be only a limited number of places (if any) available to visiting students

Course Description

Course Outline:

This module will focus upon the motif of 'the child' within 20th and 21st century horror fiction and film. Students will expand upon key critical and theoretical skills and apply these skills to popular fiction and film adaptation, using the motif of the child as a focus for this. The module will also encourage students to interrogate texts from a range of theoretical perspectives such as cultural materialism, psychoanalysis, and feminism in order to reveal how and why representations of the child in the horror genre supply an important cultural, psychological, and political point of reference for literary studies.

More specifically, the module aims to explore the cultural significance of the motif of the child in horror fiction and film through analysis of themes such as innocence and evil, psychic powers, child abuse, parenting, technology and grief. We will analyse the process of adaptation from novel to film and examine how issues relating to gender are crucial to the horror genre. The module will develop in students a sophisticated ability to think critically and analytically about how an exploration of popular fiction and film can reveal deep cultural anxieties and fixations at a historical and psychological level.

Educational Aims

On successful completion of this module, students will be able to:

• identify and comment on the cultural, political and psychological importance of the trope of the child in horror fiction and film
• relate key themes explored to gender issues
• apply key theoretical and critical skills to the texts discussed
• think critically about the ways in which adaptation from novel to film can ‘change’ a text

Course Description

In Michaelmas and Lent terms, students will engage in a series of 3-week study blocks organised around a theme relating to aspects of theatre and performance (these might include, for example, themes of Space, Time, Audience, Text, etc). Through these thematic lenses, students will be introduced to a variety of forms and genres of drama, theatre, and performance in weekly 3-hour lecture/workshop sessions (examples might include dramaturgy, performance art, feminist theatre, disability theatre, etc). They will study an exemplary range of playscripts and performance theories from a variety of historical and cultural contexts, and explore these through practical activities that invite the application of key theoretical concepts. In addition, students will be introduced to lighting, sound, and other foundational practical skills through occasional training sessions incorporated into the regular teaching session. In the latter half of the second term, groups of students will begin to develop their own practical performance projects, which will be assessed in the summer term.

Educational Aims

The course aims to:

• Introduce some of the major theatrical movements that are understood to have affected the contemporary performance scene
• raise issues about the range of approaches to the production, analysis and reception of performance which have developed in theatre and performance at key historical moments
• equip students with a knowledge of different approaches to the analysis and production of performance
• introduce basic practical skills in the analysis and rehearsal of theatre scripts
• introduce basic practical skills in devising performances
• refer to major theatrical theories of performance, and interdisciplinary theories relevant to the analysis of performance
• encourage the vigorous practice of theory and the rigorous theorisation of practice

The general educational aims of this Part I module are to:

• introduce students to critical and historical thinking

Course Description

LICA 200 will explore a number of key interdisciplinary philosophical and cultural concepts which will enable you to analyse, engage with, and reflect upon artworks in your own discipline, and to thus establish a common set of concepts which can be shared by students from all of the different subject disciplines in LICA. These interdisciplinary concepts will be referred to in Part II modules particular to LICA’s different subject domains, but also within the suite of new half-unit modules which can be taken by students from across of all LICA disciplines.

Educational Aims

This module aims to:

• Develop analytical and critical skills in the study of contemporary art and creative works (design objects, buildings, installations, paintings, sculptures; documentaries and films; sound works, scores and musical performances; and dance works, plays and theatre performances) relevant to each students specific subject discipline (Art, Film, Design,Theatre)
• Make students aware of analytical and critical skills specific to other subject disciplines
• Develop appreciation, knowledge and understanding of key theoretical concepts common to the analysis of all contemporary artworks from all artistic disciplines and forms.

Outline Syllabus

This course provides an introduction to critical theory in the arts and its application to aesthetics and art. The structure of the course is six three-week blocks, following an introductory lecture:

• Block 1. Aesthetics and Formalism: The lectures and workshops in this block will look at how we describe and analyse works of art, especially in relation to different art forms, and how different disciplines can learn from each other. Students are also introduced to the main developments in aesthetics, from Plato to Kant and onto various kinds of formalism and contemporary means of analysing artworks.
• Block 2. Phenomenology: The lectures and workshops in this block celebrate and consider the lived experience that artists and audiences have of an artwork, and in particular places bodily experience at the heart of the ways in which artworks attempt to understand the world. The sessions ask: what is the relationship between the viewer or listener who experiences an artwork and the artwork itself? What is the relation between intuition and concept? Is it possible to reflect on the pre-reflective sensations that a listener or viewer has of an artwork as it unfolds through time in the gallery, performance space or concert hall? The sessions test methods by which it is possible to describe how an artwork might distil the essential qualities of its source material, how it is possible to describe the viewers or listeners consciousness of that artwork, and the hidden meanings which are disclosed through both processes of description.
• Block 3. Semiotics, Structuralism and Deconstruction: The lectures and workshops in this block look at the idea of the artwork as a system of signification, using the principles of semiology (i.e. the science of signs). Originally applied to linguistics and anthropology, semiology offers a powerful set of tools with which to understand and engage with works of art in every discipline from the visual arts to music to dance and performance. More recently it has also come to inform the work of practitioners in all fields. No attempt to understand the debates and issues in contemporary arts can take place without a basic grasp of this area.
• Block 4. Class and Society: No attempt to understand contemporary culture and the arts can take place without engaging with the work and influence of Karl Marx. Though originally concerned mainly with questions of economics and politics, Marx's ideas have been employed in powerful ways as means of understanding the relation between art and broader social structures and relations. The lectures and workshops in this block introduce the most relevant concepts of Marxism and looks at some of the ways in which they have been used in relation to the arts in the work of authors such as Louis Althusser and David Harvey.
• Block 5. Feminism, Queer Theory and Gender: Among the more pressing questions asked by theorists in relation to art is how our experience of artworks, whether as producer or consumer, is inflected by gender and sexuality. Some of the most powerful analyses of art have been motivated by such questions. The lectures and workshops in this block will introduce students to the basic concepts underlying those analyses as well as some of the ways they have been mobilised in relation to art and culture.
• Block 6. On Difference: Questions of race and ethnicity, like those of gender and sexuality, have also become a means by which some of the presumptions underlying the arts have been questioned and deconstructed, especially as a reaction to the dominance of white, western cultural ideals. The lectures and workshops in this block engage with some of the principle debates and ideas in this area, especially as they relate to difference, race, and post-colonialism in art and culture.

Outline Syllabus

This third-year core course will add to the theoretical, historical and cultural aspects of film investigated in Years 1 and 2, while focusing more closely on the challenging aesthetic and critical debates surrounding the concept of modernity. It will look at films made in the silent era, in post-war Europe and in Britain and the US. Key writings on film will be considered in conjunction with viewings of particular films, close analysis of specific filmic techniques and methods, and historical and theoretical approaches to film. The course will also pay attention to the debates of classical and contemporary film theory, feminist approaches and other critical traditions (semiotics, structuralism, formalism, cognitivism). Building on the approach to film taken in LICA251 (Hollywood and Beyond: Global Cinema), this course focuses on film theory as students are introduced to key debates in classical and contemporary film theory, with topics exploring the relations between film and art, cinema and politics, cinema and psychoanalysis, and, above all, the question of how films produce meaning(s).

Indicative film list:

• The Last Laugh
• Rebel Without a Cause
• The Departed
• The Lady from Shanghai

• Letter from an Unknown Woman

Learning, teaching and assessment strategy:

Teaching takes place in lectures and seminars with additional screening slots for film-viewing timetabled during the week.

Teaching and learning methods:

• Lectures: these are used to map broad ranges of material and to introduce key themes, approaches and points of debate
• Screenings: students will be exposed to a wide range of films
• Readings: students are expected to pursue material covered in lectures through their own independent reading, both of specific readings set for each course, and also through independent study
• Viewings: alongside the required screenings, students are expected to view independently as much additional film material as they can.
• Seminars: these provide an opportunity for students to explore further material covered in lectures and independent reading; they are often based on student-led presentations, leading on to student or staff-led discussion and debate
• Essays: in their written work, students will analyse, synthesise and critically assess material they have covered in their classes and through independent study

LICA257: Documentary Film Practice

• Terms Taught: Lent / Summer Terms Only
• US Credits: 4 Semester Credits
• ECTS Credits: 7.5 ECTS
• Pre-requisites: Equivalent to LICA250

Course Description

Documentary Film Practice is a practice-based module in which small groups of students (3-7 students) make a short documentary video (between 5-7 minutes in length). The module builds on knowledge acquired in LICA250 Documentary Cultures, which focuses on the history, theory and stylistic qualities of documentary. By undertaking a practical video project in Documentary Film Practice students are expected to apply theoretical knowledge gained in LICA250 to a practical project. As well as applying theory to practice, the module aims to enhance students' video-making skills, with specific training provided for camera operation, sound recording and editing skills. Students will also gain skills in terms of working in groups.

Outline Syllabus

• Week 1: a 2-hour training session on video camera operation, lighting and sound training + 2-hour workshop on documentary theory (on Documentary Modes of Representation) and initial project planning. Lecture content in these workshops will draw on material taught in LICA250 but with an emphasis on filmmaking practice. Groups will be formed in this workshop via a 2-stage selection process: (1) via a survey of specific interests according to camera operation, sound recording, scriptwriting or editing (computer software) skills, so that a range of skills can be distributed across groups; and (2) where no specific individual skills are determined, via a random ballot.

• Between weeks 1 and 2 all groups are expected to meet independently for at least one hour to discuss and plan their video projects.
• Week 2: a 2-hour training session on video editing + 2-hour workshop on documentary theory (Anthropological and Archival trends in documentary) and project planning. Lecture content in these workshops will draw on material taught in LICA250 but with an emphasis on filmmaking practice. Progress of projects will be discussed, with emphasis placed on scriptwriting, background research, location scouting and contacting of potential participants prioritised at this stage of the process. All group supervisors must attend the project planning element of the workshop (this will occur during the second hour of the workshop). Finally, aspects of ethics will be covered during this week, and students will be advised on the necessary use of a permissions questionnaire when making their videos.

• Between weeks 2 and 3 all groups are expected to meet independently for at least one hour to discuss and plan their video projects.

• Week 3: A short filming and editing exercise + 2-hour workshop on documentary theory (Experimental Film and Documentary) and project planning. Lecture content in these workshops will draw on material taught in LICA250 but with an emphasis on filmmaking practice. The lecture will also include guidance on the final written projects of the module (a 2000 word evaluative essay). This will make clear to students that their practical projects must have a basis in theory and that their final essays will involve a reflection on the integration between theory and practice. Progress of projects will be discussed in the workshop session, with emphasis again placed on scriptwriting, background research, location scouting and contacting of potential participants prioritised. Groups must be made aware that they are expected to begin filming their projects in the following week. All group supervisors must attend the project planning element of the workshop (this will occur during the second hour of the workshop). Each group's short video exercise for this week will be formatively assessed by the group's supervisor at the end of week 3 (rooms will need to be booked for this assessment to occur).

• Weeks 4-7: Filming of video: in groups of between 3 and 7 students, filming of video projects will be undertaken over four weeks under the supervision of a member of LICA's academic staff. Groups must meet with their supervisor for a minimum of 1 hour each week. Video and sound recording equipment can be booked from LUTV.

• Weeks 8-10: Editing of video: in groups, students will edit their videos in the editing suites at LUTV. This will be carried out under the supervision of a member of LICA's academic staff. Groups must meet with their supervisor for a minimum of 1 hour per week.

• Group video projects are to be submitted at the end of week 10 of the Lent term.

LICA258: Women Film Makers

• Terms Taught: Lent / Summer Terms only
• US Credits: 4 Semester Credits
• ECTS Credits: 7.5 ECTS
• Pre-requisites: None

Course Description

The module will explore the work of some of the most historically important female film-makers from the 1890s through to the present, considering films from around the globe. The module will examine the significant but often marginalized and obscured roles that women have played in industrial, experimental and avant-garde film production across a spectrum of roles from costume and production designers through to screen-writers, editors and directors. You will be invited to reflect upon the fact that, despite playing key roles in the development of the medium, women continue to be excluded at all levels of film production.

The module will engage with revisionist film histories concerned with interrogating the dominant bias of academic and popular histories of the medium; it will also draw on feminist film theory concerned both with a critical understanding of mainstream cinema and the development of politicized women’s cinemas. The module will examine a series of key female directors and their work, and each week will be oriented around the screening of a case study film that will be the focus for the seminar.
