Subject Description | This subject examines the 'textuality' of film. Focussing on a selection of cinematic and televisual examples, it attempts to read and con-textualise them through the potential application of a range of differentiated yet inter-related interpretative frameworks including, for example, such approaches as semiotics, reception theory, genre studies, auteur theory, hermeneutics, and post-structuralism. In doing so it also attempts to evaluate the efficacy of each of these differing approaches. |
