L53 Film 330History of American Cinema3.0 Units
Description:This course will survey the major economic and social developments in the history of American cinema, from its origins in the late 19th century through its continued, albeit radically altered, existence in the 21st century. We will begin with the earliest days of the U.S. film industry, tracing its growth as well as changes in modes of production and organizing structures that allowed it to become the dominant global force in the making and mass marketing of movies. We will explore mainstream American film's relationship to existing and emergent realms of culture and media as well as to expectations regarding its role and responsibilities as a "public entertainment" denied First Amendment protection until 1952. Film style and form do not constitute the major focus of this course, but we will approach a number of films with attention to style and form in order to understand how cultural, economic, industrial, aesthetic, and technological determinants have impacted American filmmaking as a blend of art and commerce. By the end of this course, you will have a detailed knowledge of the history of American cinema, the individuals and institutional processes that have shaped it, the most important challenges and milestones that have marked it, and the aesthetic forms and socio-cultural effects that have been attributed to it. Priority given to majors and minors. REQUIRED SCREENING: Mondays @ 7 pm.

L53 Film 344Children's Television3.0 Units
Description:Throughout its history, children's television has been both championed as a tool for educational democracy and condemned for corrupting kids' minds, dulling their imaginations, and stunting their physical development. Why has so much power and influence been attributed to it? This course will address this question by exploring children's television as a genre, industry, and site of public anxiety and debate from the 1950s to the present. After examining the origins of the genre, we will progress to a consideration of children's television of the post-network era--the age of cable, TiVo, and TV-internet convergence. Topics of consideration will include: the marketing and branding strategies of networks like Nickelodeon; teen television and the viewing habits of its audiences; the relationship between children's television and other media consumed by kids; the gendering of children's TV; and the politics of race in contemporary children's programming. As we will see, although children's television has transformed radically since the 1950s, the discourses that swirl around it have remained remarkably consistent. Screenings will consist of both animated and live-action series such as Howdy-Doody, Sesame Street, Degrassi: The Next Generation, Dora the Explorer, and SpongeBob SquarePants. REQUIRED SCREENING: Mondays @ 4pm

L53 Film 510GRADUATE PRACTICUM IN FILM & MEDIA STUDIESVar. Units (max = 3.0)
Description:The practicum in Film & Media Studies seeks to make our graduate students more competitive in the job market. It consists of professional experience that brings to bear academic knowledge and skills associated with the graduate study of moving image media (film, television, digital). The practicum may take a number of forms, but in every case, the experience must be planned in a way that contributes to the student's professional development. It might consist of work curating films for a screening or mini-festival accompanied by screening notes or other activities that enhance the academic value of the event. The student might organize a reading group or a scholarly symposium or lecture series to further the understanding of a particular aspect of the moving image on campus. The practicum may also consist of archival, or curatorial work in forms of the moving image at an archive, museum, or other non-profit organization (such as the St. Louis International Film Festival). The student might also pursue a film/media-centered oral history project or develop a film/media-centered blog or engage in other forms of writing that have a public presence. Students may initiate other projects, but any practicum requires a faculty mentor and in circumstances in which there is a collaborating organization, a letter of endorsement of the practicum from the student's on-site supervisor. Every student presents a written proposal/plan for any practicum to the DGS and to the faculty mentor/advisor. Both faculty must give permission to the plan and determine the appropriate number of credit hours (variable 1 to 3). Students may sign up for the practicum more than once to satisfy the 3 credits required in this area for the FMS master's degree; however, only one practicum should be pursued in a given semester. If there is a site supervisor, she/he must provide a letter upon completion of the practicum detailing the student's work and its quality. The student must provide a brief narrative (2 to 5 pages) detailing how the practicum served as a learning experience. The faculty advisor will award the grade for the practicum.

Home/Ident

A course may be either a “Home” course or an “Ident” course.

A “Home” course is a course that is created, maintained and “owned” by one academic department (aka the “Home” department). The “Home” department is primarily responsible for the decision making and logistical support for the course and instructor.

An “Ident” course is the exact same course as the “Home” (i.e. same instructor, same class time, etc), but is simply being offered to students through another department for purposes of registering under a different department and course number.

Students should, whenever possible, register for their courses under the department number toward which they intend to count the course. For example, an AFAS major should register for the course "Africa: Peoples and Cultures" under its Ident number, L90 306B, whereas an Anthropology major should register for the same course under its Home number, L48 306B.
