Course description

Students will examine concepts, problems, and insights related to the possibility of instituting and deconstructing the subject through narrative using literature, film, and film theory. The concepts truth, desire, history, love, the real, the dream, thinking, sublimation, scopophilia, voice, and the Thing (das ding) are pivotal to this seminary course. These concepts are examined in the theory of semiotics in both film and literature as narrative mediums. These concepts are also central to film as that which triggers the imagination in the form of the imaginary at the same time that it makes consciousness and narrativity operative (see Roland Barthes on writing and Andre Bazin on realism in film).
