CINE 375 - Realism, 1800 to the Present: The Mirror Up to Nature


Semester Offered: Second Semester
Full Course
Credits: 4 Credits
Attribute: 4HU, WADV

Realism, though not the radical project it was, remains a significant part of contemporary culture. The tension between accurate reproduction of 'reality' and the creation of meaningful aesthetic form gives Realism its dynamic quality. Realism negotiates between the possibilities and limitations of representation in media such as the novel, drama, painting, photography, cinema, and television. The course will explore what realism was and its legacy, drawing from American, British, Irish, French, Italian, and Russian traditions.
