FA25 ENGL 373 / MACS 373 / GWS 395 - Special Topics in Film Studies - Siobhan Somerville - Sexuality and Cinema - This course explores how sexuality and cinema have been intertwined in the U.S. from the late nineteenth century to the present, not only through the erotics of the on-screen image, but also through the politics of sexuality in the production and reception of films. Through theoretical and historical readings, we will consider a range of topics, including theories of spectatorship, psychoanalytic models of desire and fantasy, censorship, intersectional approaches to race and sexuality, experimental LGBTQ films, the politics of pornography, and queer cinema, among others. Weekly screenings will include films from a range of historical periods, genres, and production contexts.
