Hispanic Culture Through Film
THIS COURSE IS TAUGHT AT MILLS CAMPUS
This course explores the complex relationship between literature and cinema in light of narrative techniques, and the mechanical, social, cultural, political and economic limitations that determine the representative possibilities of both media. Through the study of a series of representative literary works and their cinematic adaptations, the course examines the debates between writers, directors, literary critics and film critics. We not only analyze the challenges involved in the transposition to film, but we also underscore the ways in which the texts themselves adopt and play with cinematic language and techniques. Sample texts in include Cagliostro, Los de abajo, El beso de la mujer araƱa, Las babas del diablo. (1 unit) Required text: Material in course pack and electronic form.
