Course objectives
The questions of identity are most succinctly revealed in three main areas: in the subject (identity crisis), in the social context (tensions of psychical and physiognomic simulation) and in the sphere of media (the formation of fictional and artificial identities through audiovisual theories). This course will focus mainly on typological and structural reflection of these models of dopplegangerity within media, especially in film. We will explore the transformations, function and configuration of individual characters from narratological aspect and discuss how the model in question supports or dissolves social stereotypes and myths which are naturally embedded in the ideology of films. Forms of dopplegangerity will be studied through their historical development; in the analytical part of the course poststructuralist psychoanalytic and feminist theories will be used.
