Subject Description | This subject is designed to introduce students to ways of thinking critically, historically and analytically about Hollywood cinema. It seeks to provide students with a detailed understanding of Hollywood cinema as a cultural industry, a formal style and a social mythology. Within this context, the subject addresses the constitution and reconstitution of Hollywood cinema within a range of cultural, social and historical frames. By the end of semester students should be familiar with the discourses which circulate around ideas of 'Hollywood': Hollywood as mass entertainment; Hollywood as textual system and aesthetic style; Hollywood and exhibition practices; the cult of the Hollywood star; textual and spectatorial reworkings of Hollywood film. |
