Cíle předmětu
This course aims at familiarizing participants with various elements related to one of the most important spheres of cultural production in the USA: the American feature film. Using a body of twelve representative films as its point of departure, the course is designed not only to enhance students’ interpretive skills, but also to provide them with relevant knowledge concerning the production, distribution, and consumption of films at various stages of American history from World War II to the present. Cutting across a variety of genres, the selected films offer important insights into the development of the American film industry and criticism; at the same time they invite thinking about a variety of wider contextual issues. In other words we will not only concentrate on close textual analysis, but also consider a variety of social, political and historical circumstances that the films reflect and result from.

Výukové metody
The course is based on individual preparation, regular attendance of the biweekly seminars, and regular participation in the online discussions. Every week students are expected to watch one feature film and do the assigned reading. During the odd weeks, when no seminars take place, each student is expected to get involved in the online discussion about the respective film (or reading) on the program. The students wishing to successfully complete the course are expected to view all the main items on the viewing list, read all the assigned reading, and prepare a presentation (either an online or in-class one) and actively participate in the discussions in class.
Metody hodnocení
The grade is based on student performance in class (in-class quizzes, presentations, involvement in both in-class and online discussions - 50%) and on the assessment of the final essay (minimum 2100 words – 50%).
