FILM 41.08 The Cinematic City

This course tracks a quintessentially modern character type--the flâneur/flâneuse--as s/he navigates the cinematic metropolis. Films ranging from early actualities to science fiction, gangster films, musical comedy, and film noir will present the flâneur as a compromised figure who walks a fine line between resistance to the city's rhythms and complicity with its reorganization of subjectivity, affect, collective life, and the senses.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
