Take Home Project
Due Date: July 3rd MONDAY 5pm
Please submit the
project (preferably in WORD document) to the lecturer’s email address maran@lit.nagoya-u.ac.jp with the subject “Take Home Project AFH”. I’d
send out confirmation email once your assignment is received. Late submission
is not accepted unless emergency happens. EARLIER
submission is possible. For students who think they might be too ‘shy’
to speak in class, it would be a great opportunity for you to make up for the
lost chances for in-class debates and discussions.
Design your own syllabus
for a ‘post-1945 Asian film history’ course. In the syllabus, you are expected
to offer us a three-week breakdown
of readings and themes that you want to focus on. The format would be free. But
for bibliographical items, please follow CMS.
These three weeks could be threaded together in the fashion/logic
of national cinema (as I have done with PRC cinema), but could also be three
independent topics. You are welcome to follow my style, but you are also
encouraged to take me to a new territory of Asian cinema (such as, Tibetan
cinema; Cambodia cinema etc.). Keep in mind that ‘Asian cinema’ is a
construction in itself. If you are not very sure, please talk to me.
For each of the 3 weeks,
you are expected to at least offer us,
1) A general theme/topic of your historical
survey;
2) 3 required readings, and put down reasons (50
words for each) why you would choose them regarding their importance and
originality—they could overlap with what I have used, but please do not simply
copy and paste everything that I have listed; visuals are welcome, but not a
must.
3) 1 film for discussion, and reasons why you
choose it (not about personal preference/love-hate, but something more
objective: because of the Auteur? Genre? Technological innovation? Visual
style? Political significance? Audience reception? Any evidence?)
4) One line to indicate for each week, what you
expect the students to learn from these surveys and materials.
