	CRN	Type	Section	Time	Day	Location	Instructor	Section Details
	29934	Lecture-Discussion	1G	9:00AM -11:50AM	MTWR	1064 Lincoln Hall	Hansen, J	Part of Term: S1 Date Range: 05/18/15-06/12/15 Credit: 4 hours Section Title: Hitchcock Section Info: Topic section 1G: Hitchcock By focusing on the films that Alfred Hitchcock directed between 1935 and 1960, this course will explore the psychoanalytic and ideological fears that animate some of the most talked about texts in cinema history. Framed by the historical horrors of World War II and the subsequent expansion of American economic and military power, the films of Hitchcock?s most fertile period helped to develop?and simultaneously to conceal?psychological concerns about modern masculinity, sadism, masochism, and consumer culture. By interrogating films ranging from The Lady Vanishes and Rebecca to Psycho, we will attempt to engage not only with the manifest messages of Hitchcock?s cinema, but also with the latent and troubling fears about our society and ourselves that his cinema seems to embody. Course requirements include two 8 page research papers, 1 in-class presentation, a daily reading journal, and two exams. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
