3 ENG 115 Introduction to the Films of Alfred Hitchcock CRN: Instructor(s): Jason Cohen This course offers a broad survey of roughly twenty of Alfred Hitchcock s films from the First World War to the Cold War era, including an introduction to basic film conventions and concepts as well as discussions of the cultural contexts that frame Hitchcock s works. I have organized this class around four thematic clusters that identify central issues in Hitchcock s preoccupations on screen. We should make it a goal of this course to ask whether these provisional categories stand up to our analyses of the films as representative elements of Hitchcock s work. For this course, our conceptual themes are: desire in and for the femme fatale; psychological, emotional, and social imbalances; unusual or disruptive familiarity; and finally, the intrusion of the external political world into the film world. Each of these themes comments on and critiques the exterior world that watches the film, including ours as well as the Director's, as we each gaze through the cinematic lens. This will be our world to investigate and question. This course requires daily Moodle postings, two analytical essays, and one exam.

4 ENG/TAD 266 Photography and Writing: Tools for Conservation CRN: 40008(ENG) 40009(TAD) Instructor(s): Libby Jones & Alan Mills Since the Civil War, conservationists have helped shape public opinion and federal laws with a unique and powerful tool the photograph. In today s world, conservation organizations such as the Sierra Club, Audubon Society and Greenpeace continue to save species and preserve wild places by arousing the public with powerful visual images reproduced in wall calendars and large format books. Pairing these images with words poems, essays, or articles on scientific, historical, aesthetic, or spiritual dimensions of nature has been another important means of preserving the earth. This course is designed for students interested in photographing and preserving our natural environment. Photographic instruction will center on camera use, composition, and printmaking through PhotoShop and digital story telling. Students will also read a variety of nature writings and will experiment with different forms of nature writing related to their photographic images. Classroom sessions will include philosophical discussions of the viability of using photography, alone or with writing, to lobby Congress and increase public awareness of conservation issues. Stewardship of the earth s resources and the role of nature in spiritual and artistic development will be central themes throughout the course. Thirteen days of the class will be spent in Utah photographing the southwest landscape of deserts, mountains, and canyons. Local fieldwork will include trips to Indian Fort, Anglin Falls, and Owsley Fork Reservoir.

6 PSC 238 Politics, Hollywood Style CRN: Instructor(s): John Heyrman This will be a course on political ideas as expressed in American films. The class will view films about American political processes and consider questions including the following: What political ideas does the film express?

Prerequisite(s): GSTR 110 (or waiver) Meeting Day/Time: MTWRF 9:30 11:20 & TR 1:30 3:20 Meeting Location: Frost 103 Enrollment Limit: 15 Meets the following General Education Requirements: Western History Perspective THR 223: Lights, Camera, Africa CRN: Instructor(s): Gordon Gray & Tyler Sergent The continent of Africa has featured prominently in the cinema output of the West. Less well known are the cinematic traditions within African countries. This course will cover both of these issues, beginning with film examples of the portrayals of Africa and Africans in Western cinema over time and continuing with recent examples of the ways in which Africa and Africans feature in the Western imagination. The focus of the class then switches to cinema outputs from African cinema industries. We will look both at some of the more famous and critically acclaimed films from the post Independence period to locally focused and immensely popular colloquial cinemas. Through these experiences and discussions, students will become acquainted with the role/s of Africa in Western popular imagination and culture and the ways in which African filmmakers have used cinema to both comment on post colonial Africa as well as to entertain audiences from within African visual and oral traditions of storytelling. Viewing cinema tells us much about the political, cultural, aesthetic, and dramaturgical traditions of the countries in which these films were produced in this case both Western countries such as the USA and United Kingdom as well as African countries such as Senegal and Nigeria. To that end, students will critically view a series of Western feature films regarding Africa and feature films produced within African countries. Students will then provide analysis of these films via three 5 8 page reviews that include topics, themes, and subject matter relevant to the particular films and of relevance to their major. The work culminates in a final essay. The class is organized as a series of film viewings on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, with seminars Mondays and Fridays.
