The aim of the class is to give an overview of the more relevant issues of film and media aesthetics. In particular, the class will be focused on both historically relevant perspective and more recent topics and methodologies. Moreover, a major frame will be offered by visual culture studies, in order to understand old and new phenomena in the light of a wider history of images. A particular attention will be devoted to theories of sensory and affective cinematic and medial experience.
