This course allows students to discover how a film genre operates within specific socio-cultural and historical contexts of production. In an approach that is both historical and structural, the major genres, as well as the popular sub-genres of cinema, will be examined according to their most recognizable semantic and syntactic elements, their historical evolution, and their presence in different national cinematographies (United States, France, Italy, South Korea, Japan): tragedy, melodrama, comedy, film noir, fantasy, western, dystopia. Similarly, this course helps the student better understand and potentially manipulate the generic codes they usually incorporate into their own creative work, with the aim of better reinventing or transgressing these universal codes.
