Course Description

The class, which is open to advanced undergraduate and graduate students, will explore silent and early sound films from the period of the Weimar Republic. Close analysis of films such as The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, Nosferatu, Metropolis, M, Dr. Mabuse, The Blue Angel and others will be combined with a historicist exploration of the cinematic medium in the 1910s and 1920s. Specific topics of discussion include anxieties about the hypnotic power of the moving image, shell shock, spirit photography, the "New Woman," the mass ornament. All readings and class discussions are in English and all films have English sub- or intertitles.
