This course addresses the image of the global city on screen in relation to questions of power, space, history, motion, and emotion. While the “global city” occupies a central position in the generation and global circulation of wealth, this course is also interested in the marginal spaces of such cities and the visual culture produced in them and in relation to them. Key topics include the city’s relationship to personal and public memory; the city as utopia; the city as a site of subversion and revolution; the city and connection/isolation; the city as a site of horror and monstrosity. Screenings include Chungking Express, Girlhood, Parasite, A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night, Search Party, Pose, and more. No prerequisite. Satisfies Mason Core Arts and Mason Core Global Understanding.
