Course objectives
This course is a continuation of the prevailingly chronological survey of film theories: from methodological theories (semiotics of cinema, psychology of cinema, sociology of cinema...) to "field theories" (e.g. David Bordwell, Roger Odin, Seymour Chatman, Edward Branigan) and the "New Film History" (Thomas Elsaesser, Tom Gunning, Charles Musser).
