CIMS 3600 - THINKING ABOUT THE BODY THROUGH HISPANIC FILMS

SPAN 3600
401 | LEC | Reyes Caballo-Márquez | MW 12-1:30pm | WILL 319

This course will offer an extended philosophical reflection on the human body through the study of a selection of films with body narratives across the Hispanic world. Guided by the reflections of film theorists and critics that study the relationship between body and film, as well as by some other important body thinkers across disciplines, we will engage in discourses around the body such as gender and sexuality, race, age, beauty and body image, pain and illness, disabilities, ethics of corporeal representations, etc. Beyond the thematic focus, the main objective of this course will be to gain a general understanding of film theory, cinematographic language, and film criticism. The course will be conducted entirely in Spanish.
