授業の目的 【英語】
Goals of the Course | | | This seminar is basically only open to MA/PhD students who have demonstrated certain interest and background knowledge in cinema studies, and have the competency in reading and analyzing cinematic texts in English. Preferably we welcome students whose written and spoken English abilities are adequate enough for them to participate in presentations and to write short essays and so forth. Importantly, it is however possible for undergrads (including NUPACE students) to sit in or enroll at our seminar, based on mutual understanding on the level of the seminar and the responsibility shared (namely, the students understands the academic challenges, and lecturer acknowledges the students’ potential and efforts). Under such circumstances, individual consultation with the lecturer and trial sessions are possible. |

media and visual cultures amidst current global geopolitical circumstances. The seminar is
