| Goals | To inform students in the field of cinema historiography and to introduce them to the basic texts of this field (articles, books, book chapters). To transform students into “New Cinema History” researchers who can design and conduct original, scientific, qualified studies and research in the discipline of cinema history. |
| Course Content | It analyses the discursive evolution of the discipline of cinema historiography on the axis of three-fold historical periodisation and conceptualisation (emergence: traditional, standard, amateur cinema historiography, phase of change: revisionist and critical cinema historiography, professionalisation: transition to the new cinema history paradigm and institutionalisation of the discipline of Cinema Studies). |
