Preparatory Enthusiasm – MA Subjects

My readings, preoccupations, output, from September 1 2008 – end June 09 all from the MA in Cinema Studies, Uni of Amsterdam.

SUBJECTS: both -

1. Body, Senses and the Moving Image

2. Media Archaeology

RESEARCH SEMINAR – one of these:

1. Black Box, White Cube Cinema in the Museum, The Museum in Cinema (eurgh)

2. Filmmakers in an Age of Critical Discourse (this one I expect, pending strength of first lecture)

3. Photography and Film

4. Film and Religion

ELECTIVES: one of these – of course the first, but will try sit in on the second, which looks great:

1. Fictional events and actual emotions

2. Pictorial and Multi-modal metaphor in film and other media

Accom is v. high demand in Amsterdam so I have applied for a little Uni-subsidized student flat “somewhere inside of Amsterdam” (luck of the draw) with “strong preference” for no other occupants. And yes. Excitement registers.
