CineMa STUDieS CIne 202 920 TBa Baumli Understanding Cinematic Adaptations: 21st-Century Literacy Avid fans of a particular novel often eagerly await a film version. These same enthusiasts equally often come away disappointed by the translation of their favorite book into an altogether different work of art. Even though 85% of blockbuster movies are adaptation of novels and short stories, the viewing audience seldom can judge a film version of a novel by any other criterion than faithfulness to the original. More and more, true literacy involves the capability to evaluate a work across several media. Moving away from this sort of “fidelity studies,” this interdisciplinary course will examine adaptations as works of art in their own right. Using recent scholarship from theorists of adaptation including Deborah Cartmell, Tim Corrigan, Millicent Marcus, James Naremore, and Imelda Whelan, students will be introduced to the relatively new field of film adaptation studies. Further, through close examination of film and text, students will gain new analytic tools to evaluate both the literature they read and the movies they watch. We will look at the Coen Brothers’ transformation of Homer’s Odyssey into O Brother, Where Art Thou?, Danny Boyle’s incorporation of Hindu and Greek myth into Slumdog Millionaire, Francis Ford Coppola’s rendering of Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness into Apocalypse Now Redux, and Baz Luhrman’s Bollywood version of the Orpheus myth into Moulin Rouge. We will also consider adaptations across new media, such the film renditions of graphic novels like Alan Moore’s V for Vendetta, Dan Clowe’s Ghost World, or Marjane Satrapi’s Persepolis; and music videos, like The Smashing Pumpkins’ version of Federico Fellini’s adaptation of Apuleius’s The Satyricon, or OutKast’s parody of A Hard Day’s Night. The course will require two 5 page papers and a final examination. Outside film viewing required. CIne 202 921 TBa Fiumara Edgar Allan Poe and the Cinema Last year marked the bicentennial of the birth of Edgar Allan Poe and his cultural popularity and influence show no signs of abatement. IMDb lists over 200 films based on Poe’s oeuvre and what other literary figure can boast a professional sports team named in their honor (Baltimore Ravens)? This course will consider a number of canonical Poe stories and poems and the long history of cinematic adaptations of these classic works. We will look at popular horror films such as Murders in the Rue Morgue (1932) and Roger Corman’s Pit and the Pendulum (1961), but will also pay attention to Poe’s important influence on the avant-garde (German Expressionism, French Surrealism) and the stop-motion animation of Jan Svankmajer and Tim Burton. We will also consider Poe’s continued presence in popular culture by looking at television parodies (The Simpsons), forensic crime dramas (CSI), comic books (Batman Nevermore), and possibly a class trip to the Poe House in Philadelphia. CoMMUniCaTionS CoMM 123 920 T 5:30pm–8:40pm rodriguez Communication and Popular Culture Popular culture has been alternately dismissed as mere trivia and condemned as propaganda, a tool of mass deception. This course introduces students to some of the most important critiques of culture since the 1930s and to different kinds of research that can help us understand popular culture and its effects. Students will investigate how different cultural forms communicate ideas about the world. Overarching questions for the course include: How do various popular culture forms represent social life? Why do we consume popular culture in the ways that we do? How can we look at popular culture to understand the world better, including our place in the world? To answer these questions, we will explore a range of media and genres, including television, film, advertising, music, books, magazines, and the Internet. The course develops critical reading skills that can be applied to both scholarly and popular texts. CoMM 130 920 Tr 5:30pm–8:40pm Penney Introduction to Mass Media and Society Fulfills Society Sector How might we think about the legal, political, economic, historical, and “cultural” considerations that shape what we watch on TV, read in books, stare at in billboards? What ideas are relevant for examining the enormous changes in the mass media system and the consequences of those changes? The aim of this course is to begin to answer these questions by acquainting you with the workings of American mass media as an integral part of American society. CoMM 226 920 Tr 1:00pm–4:10pm roodhouse Introduction to Political Communication This course is an introduction to the field of political communication, conceptual approaches to analyzing communication in various forms, including advertising, speech making, campaign debates, and candidates’ and office-holders’ uses of news. The focus of this course is on the interplay in the U.S. between television and politics. The course includes a history of televised campaign practices from the 1952 presidential contest through the election of 2008. SUMMER SESSIOn II • JULY 6–AUgUST 13, 2010 29
