Cinema and Society

(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

The aim is to present what is a social approach to cinema and to show how it opposes formalism. The social approach has two meanings. This is first of all a certain interpretation of the films that opposes the formalistic approach, which criticizes its apoliticalism: it is interested in their political or social text or subtext. he the second is an approach that claims the plurality of discourses on cinema, because on a film, it's always an interpretation of a film from a social point of view - that is from the point of view races, classes and genres. In other words, a discourse on cinema is never objective, on the one hand, and it is never universal, on the other hand.
