Course objectives
Are the changes in style, narration, production and reception of contemporary cinema so distinctive that we can speak of a radical break separating the classical (1917-1960) from the post-classical Hollywood? What are the differences between the classical Hollywood and the New Hollywood of the Sixties or the New New Hollywood (since 1970)? What are the arguments of those who prefer to speak of a distinctive break (Corrigan, Bukatman, Wyatt, Schatz...) and those who rather speak of continuity (Bordwell, Thompson, Buckland...)? The lecture will define the term "classicism" in the context of the Hollywood cinema. Consequently, it will reformulate the arguments important for defining the (dis)continuity between the classical and the postclassical Hollywood cinemas. The history of cinema will be understood not only in terms of style and narration, but also as a contextual institutional history.
