Course Description
This seminar focuses on the influence of pictures and videos on politics with an emphasis on conflicts and international crisis. The seminar provides a theoretical background to give students the ability to understand contemporary cases. It discusses concepts of political science, sociology, and aesthetics. The introductory courses focus on the issue of representation of wars and international politics through history. During the following seminars, the following issues are addressed: what is political representation; how to study the production, circulation, and different interpretations of images; how do states stage themselves; what are the communication strategies of different actors going from government, NGOs, and journalists to armed groups; how individuals and social movements share images disturbing state-centric world politics.

Course Description
This course provides a rich and panoramic survey of the early Twentieth Century’s most dynamic and aesthetically invigorating cultural movement. Moving back and forth between select cinematic and literary texts, the course opens pathways between these two critical Modernist media. It demonstrates how writers were adopting technical ideas from the new mechanical medium, even as artists and poets turned to the cinema to exploit its poetic capacities. Navigating a pathway though some of the most exciting avant-garde currents in Europe and America, the course blends primary documents with key critical materials in order to instill a thorough understanding of Modernist cultural forms. It also considers the phenomenon of vernacular modernism in mainstream Hollywood films, and interrogates both Hollywood’s popularisation of certain experimental features and its patronage of hungry writers in the Great Depression. The course is structured around three intensive modules: (1) Avant-garde Modernism in film and writing, (2) High Modernism, the moment of masterpieces, (3) Vernacular Modernism, the vulgate of modernity.
