CINE215
Global China on Screen
Description
Like in the West, Chinese cinema has held a significant share in the cultural industry since the first film was made in China in 1905. Being a cultural product, film has always been seen as reflection of its contemporary culture, despite various aspects it might have taken. Taking primarily a Cultural Studies approach, this course introduces Chinese culture, especially a series of its contemporary phenomena by surveying Chinese cinema. The course will be taught in English and all Chinese films are subtitled. By viewing the films in class and many more available in the well-resourced UC library on the course's recommendation and students' own interests, the course encourages students to further develop their study in one or more of the following areas: Studies of Chinese culture and society; Cross-cultural studies with a focus on China/Asia and beyond; Cultural studies with a special emphasis on postmodernism (including postcolonialism) and Third World culture; Film studies focusing on national cinema. CHIN206 and CINE215 are the same course.

Coming of Age in Global Cinema
Description
The coming-of-age experience is familiar to all social classes and cultures. Stories of youth after childhood are compellingly represented in films across the globe. In this course, we will examine the representation of adolescence within an international context, focusing primarily on the experience of youth beyond dominant Hollywood. We will closely analyse those films from across the globe that complicate our understanding of adolescent identity by acknowledging its intersection with other kinds of identification - in particular racial, class, national, and that of sexual orientation.

Film on the Faultline

The Cinema of Contagion
Description
This course asks how a ‘cinema of contagion’ might offer a lens through which we can better understand our precarious place in this world. It considers contagion in a literal sense, by exploring how a variety of international films from the 20th and 21st centuries represent illness, viral outbreaks, plagues, parasitic invasions, and social controls such as quarantine measures. It analyses how filmmakers use contagion metaphorically or allegorically, including as an aesthetic strategy. It also explores how questions of embodiment, subjectivity and mortality are explored through different genres and national cinemas.
