ENGL 381 - Hopeful Monsters: (Mixed-)Media Studies

FC ARHU WINT

4 credits
This course looks at hybrid media forms across historical, national, and aesthetic boundaries. What happens when generally distinct aesthetic forms and practices are merged? What do they reveal about the nature of the original media they are constructed from? How is interpretive activity challenged by such works? Our objects of study will include visual art, experimental poetry, innovative memoir, essay-films, narrative and documentary cinema, graphic and experimental fiction, and more.

Prerequisites: ((CINE 110 or CINE 111) and one cinematic traditions course) or CINE 290 or CINE 299.

This course is cross-listed with CIME-381
