It was only in the 1840s, however, that crime became bracketed to mass popular entertainment. In this course we will look at cinematic representations of crime from two perspectives. The first group of films focuses on agents of disorder, professional and nonprofessional criminals alike; the second group on detectives and police, agents of law and order. Through these opposing lenses, we will analyze fictional representations of crime from a range of perspectives: character studies, motivations, victims, detection methods, representations of the police, social impact of crime, class, gender, race, censorship, and spectator address. Films will be screened during class time on Mondays. Requirements: regular attendance; active participation in class discussion; careful reading of secondary materials; short response papers; and four medium-length analytic essays.
