Course Title:
The Films of Alfred Hitchcock
Course Number:
LIT 3607E
Course Description:
The object of this course is to offer prospective students both an overview of the cinematic work of one of the acknowledged "great figures" of the medium and to introduce them to the critical scenario of film studies. The course is then concerned with sketching a brief historical perspective of the development of cinema in the XX century and with accompanying that narrative with a display of some key texts in Hitchcock's oeuvre. We will touch upon the issue of the author, on the ways in which one might think to ally a specific object (film) to a distinctly collaborative medium (cinema) and on the manner in which Hitchcock developed and heightened this association in the minds of his audience.
