Description: | |||||||
This class aims to explore aspects of literary and cinematographic writing. Questions of media technology are introduced and developed by reading literary and cinematic texts alongside theorists of poetry, writing, technology and space, such as Plato, Derrida, Lacan, Michel de Certeau, Bernard Stiegler, Walter Ong, and Friedrich Kittler. Each class develops a different theme concerning one important aesthetic aspect of writing and technology, such as questions of the uncanny, the gaze, écriture féminine, power, anamorphosis, the archive, and memory. The potential for types of writing to inspire affective responses such as wonder, and a feeling of touching upon the hidden or unknown, is explored alongside theories of literary language from theorists and philosophers such as Adorno, Heidegger, Maurice Blanchot, and Gaston Bachelard. Of key importance is the singular aesthetic experience afforded by different types of writing. Students read a range of literary texts, from writers such as Ovid, Shakespeare,Wordsworth, Hölderlin, Kafka, Cicoux, Borges, and Sebald. Motifs and thematic links are drawn between these writers and films from directors such as Charlie Chaplin, Werner Herzog, and Alain Resnais. |
