ENGL 3702 - Desire and Cinema(crosslisted) (also COML 3702 , FGSS 3702 , PMA 3702 , VISST 3702 ) (LA-AS) Fall. 4 credits.
E. Hanson.
“You didn’t see anything,” a woman in a movie says to her dubious admirer. “No one sees anything. Ever. They watch, but they don’t understand.” What is desire in the cinema? How do we know it when we see it or when we feel it? How do the images, sounds, and narratives engage us erotically? We will examine classic theories of gender and sexuality in visual studies through a survey of recent cinema, including work by such auteurs as Stanley Kubrick, Pedro Almodóvar, David Lynch, Abbas Kiarostami, Claire Denis, Michael Haneke, Gaspar Noé, and Wong Kar-wai.
