CINE 355 - Cinephilia & Cinema Studies

4 HU, WR
Second Semester. The very word–“cinephilia”–sounds like a disease, but the passions and desires it represents might act as a shadow history of cinema studies. Cinephilia strictly translates as “love of cinema,” but the broader meanings and critical possibilities the term presents to film studies remain uncertain, despite the often heated debates that have arisen around the term. This course will offer a critical and historical overview of cinephilia, while attempting to determine its usefulness to future work in cinema studies.
