Description
Film and television studies involve historical, textual and critical approaches to film and television, and related video and new screen technologies. Film and television studies cover Australian, Asian and European national cinemas, earlier and contemporary popular Hollywood and its institutions, alternative film and video, documentary film, Australian television, popular television genres, and video practice.
Emphasis is given to a variety of historical, critical and theoretical methods of analysis appropriate to the study of film and television, including formal, semiotic and psychoanalytic approaches, institutional, reception and cultural studies approaches, consideration of issues to do with the intersection of ideology and culture, the representation of gender, race and class, and questions concerning the relations between film and television and new technologies.
Students are encouraged to consider combining their film and television studies with other relevant and compatible units and/or disciplines in the Faculty of Arts. Examples are drama and theatre studies, comparative literature and cultural studies, English, history, gender studies, and a range of relevant Asian and European languages.
