Learning outcomes |
This course aims to approach cinema in a philosophical perspective. It is intended to question cinema from feminist film studies, relating cinema, representativeness and human rights.
|
|
Syllabus |
- Proposals for a common genealogy of human rights and feminisms. The philosophical and political foundation of women's rights and the emergence of the seventh art.
- What is cinema? Do art and cinema think? How to create a philosophy of cinema?
- The first female filmmakers: the cases of Alice Guy Blaché (France, 1863 – 1968), Lois Weber (USA, 1879 – 1939) and Germaine Dulac (France, 1882 – 1942).
- Feminism applied to cinema. Reflection on proposals by Laura Mulvey, Claire Johnston, Annette Kuhn, Teresa de Lauretis and Christine Gledhill, among others.
- Criticism of classic Hollywood cinema and the perpetuation of stereotypes. The spectator as voyeur.
- Proposing alternatives to exploring pleasure and sexuality on the screen.
- The use of self-writing in the creation of contemporary documentaries.
