Media Aesthetics: Image, Text, Sound II (21)

Course Description

Media Aesthetics II focuses on writing, reading, and signs. Language is an extraordinarily flexible medium for representing events and experiences-but it also raises distinctive challenges of interpretation, decoding, and translation. We examine some of these challenges through Plato's Phaedrus, Shakespeare's Hamlet, Akira Kurosawa's Rashomon, and Alison Bechdel's Fun Home.
