| Additional Course Info | Class Number: 2374 This course explores how contemporary film, a creative medium appealing to the entire demographic spectrum like Greek drama, looks back to the ancient origins. Examining both films that are directly based on Greek plays and films that make use of classical material without being explicitly classical in plot or setting, we will discuss how Greek mythology is reconstructed and appropriated for modern audiences and how the classical past continues to be culturally significant. A variety of methodological approaches such as film and gender theory, psychoanalysis, and feminist theory will be applied in addition to more straightforward literary-historical interpretation. Approach: Critical Interpretation (CI); Haverford: Humanities (HU) ( ) Enrollment Cap: 40 If the course exceeds the enrollment cap the following criteria will be used for the lottery: Permission of Instructor; |
