Vzdělávání pro konkurenceschopnost CZ.1.07/2.2.00/15.0188

This course aims at familiarizing participants with various elements related to one of the most important spheres of cultural production in the USA: the American feature film. Using a body of twenty two representative films as its point of departure, the course is designed not only to enhance students’ interpretive skills, but also to provide them with relevant knowledge concerning the production, distribution, and consumption of films at various stages of American history from World War II to the present.

            Cutting across a variety of genres, the selected films offer important insights into the development of the American film industry and criticism; at the same time they invite thinking about a variety of wider contextual issues. In other words we will not only concentrate on close textual analysis, but also consider a variety of social, political and historical circumstances that the films reflect and result from.
