Course Description
This course is part one of a two-course sequence, one in each semester. Students can take either part without prerequisite, or both. Films, lectures, and readings are different in both semesters. This fall semester course is titled PART I: CULTURAL HISTORY IN VISEGARD CINEMA and focuses intensely on the Visegrad region- Czech, Slovak, Hungarian, and Polish film. This course focuses on films from four of the largest cultural groups in the Visegrad region of Central Europe (Czech, Slovak, Hungarian, and Polish) to examine how this region's history has impacted its culture by looking at the four regions' responses to identity, war, and domestic social problems. In addition to focusing on film theory, the course also discusses cultural history and media theory, and learning approaches to “reading” films not only as movies, but also as multi-faceted cultural artifacts. Course readings contain primary source materials on cinema history, historical research, film theory, and literature, intended to broaden students' understanding of the various cultures, visual and otherwise, which inform cinema creation in this part of Europe.

Course Description
Long neglected in French film studies, socio-cultural approaches today constitute a field of teaching and research marked by a strong dynamism and a plurality of questions: cultural history, socio-history, audience sociology, cultural, gender, race, or reception studies. This course revisits the history of cinema by cultivating a critical mind towards representations, analyzes various films according to issues from cultural history, socio-history, sociology of audiences and/or various Anglo-Saxon studies, introduces students to theoretical and methodological tools specific to socio-cultural approaches, and takes into account and analyzes the ethical, political, and ideological implications of film and audiovisual productions. The targeted skills of this course are knowing how to use the main theoretical and methodological tools relating to socio-cultural approaches, being able to analyze artistic, cinematographic and audiovisual works according to the representations they offer, and knowing how to contextualize the filmic objects studied in order to assess and understand their meanings and their challenges on the social and cultural level.

Course Description
This course is designed specifically for students from the University of California Education Abroad Program and the Department of Korean Language and Literature at Yonsei University. In partnership with the Center for Innovation in Higher Education, the course explores Korean society and culture through digital media.

It discusses the many facets of this diverse digital ecosphere where anyone with access to a computer or mobile device can integrate digital images, social media, recorded audio narration, video clips, and music alongside a range of delivery channels with meta-information (e.g., hashtags, rankings, and comments by users) to tell a story to a broad audience. Lectures and discussions include regular meetings with a language partner. Particular attention is given to the socio-cultural impact of new digital technologies, such as KakaoTalk, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, webtoons, RPG/MMORPG games, blogs, data visualizations, and other SNS sites and the institutions that control these technologies.
