Fall Courses: Surveillance Cinema/Reality TV course (VLPA or I&S) & Modern Greek

Surveillance Cinema / Reality TV
Professor Stephen Groening

This is a terrific course that can apply either to VLPA or I&S requirements and is suitable for students from all majors with an interest in cinema.

This course focuses on cultural depictions of surveillance beginning with so-called ‘cinema of paranoia’ in the 1970s and on to the Reality TV genre of the past twenty years. It seeks to interrogate the categories of privacy and publicity as well as theoretical questions pertinent to the fields of cinema and media studies. One of the course’s animating questions is how, in contemporary American culture, being watched by strangers has transformed from threatening and dangerous to something welcomed as a form of celebrity and fame.
