| Course Title: Intermediate Courses in History and Theory: 'Videographic Criticism: Feeling and Thinking through the Timeline' |
| Start Date: 01/27/2026 End Date: 05/12/2026 |
| Term: Spring Semester 2026 |
| Description: The course will focus on developing both analytical, technical and creative skills through the practice of videographic criticism. This form of audiovisual scholarship has emerged as a new mode of film research, circulating across multiple platforms such as YouTube and peer-reviewed online journals such as [In]Transition. Videographic criticism not only offers the opportunity to write about cinema, but also to write with cinema itself-using the images and sounds of film as critical tools. It opens up new expressive possibilities and allows learners to engage in material thinking, or the practice of thinking and feeling through the timeline. |
