Film studies has been a part of higher education curricula in
the United States almost since the development of the medium.
Although the study of film is dispersed across a range of academic
departments, programs, and scholarly organizations, film studies
has come to be recognized as a field in its own right. In an era
when teaching and scholarship are increasingly interdisciplinary,
film studies continues to expand and thrive, attracting new
scholars and fresh ideas, direction, and research.
Given the dynamism of the field, experienced and beginning
instructors alike need resources for bringing the study of film
into the classroom. This volume will help instructors conceptualize
contemporary film studies in pedagogical terms. The first part of
the volume features essays on theory and on representation,
including gender, race, and sexuality. Contributors then examine
the geographies of cinema and offer practical suggestions for
structuring courses on national, regional, and transnational film.
Several essays focus on interdisciplinary approaches, while others
describe courses designed around genre (film noir, the musical),
mode (animation, documentary, avant-garde film), or the formal
elements of film, such as sound, music, and mise-en-scene. The
volume closes with a section on film and media in the digital age,
in which contributors discuss the opportunities and challenges
presented by access to resources, media convergence, and
technological developments in the field."
