CORE 003 SC - Essay, Film, and Theory

While the essay is often viewed as something suffered by students, the essay form can also register a different way of thinking about the world and one’s place in it. Drawing on a broad range of materials this course investigates the relationship between narrative form and the kind of stories we like to tell/experience. We explore various examples of the essay form and consider how the essay film in particular breaks down boundaries between academic and aesthetic pursuits.
