FILMa HiStory of World cinema (1931-1933)

This unique course on cinema history continues with a detailed exploration of the films produced during three vital years, 1931-1933, the height of the Depression. In America, with talkies now fully established, but with box-office takings in decline, the major studios reacted by increasing the level of violence and sex in their films, resulting in an increased backlash from conservatives which would eventually lead, in 1934, to the severe tightening of the Production Code. In this Pre-Code era, almost anything went; the films were fast, provocative, funny and daring. The superstars of the era – Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, Greta Garbo, Clark Gable, Mae West, the Marx Brothers, James Cagney, Marlene Dietrich and all the rest – were at their peak. Elsewhere, we will explore the cinema of Europe, especially Britain, France and Germany (the latter entering the Nazi era) and Asia. A feature film will screen at every session and there will be hundreds of film excerpts.

JameS cagney

The most stylised of the Hollywood super-stars, James Cagney was a song-and-dance man who earned his reputation playing pugnacious gangsters and unpredictable heroes. He has been described as the most compelling and original actor of his generation, and from his very first screen appearance, in 1930, he electrified audiences. His gangsters (The Pubic Enemy, The Roaring Twenties, White Heat) were brutal, but he could also be charming (The Strawberry Blonde). His Oscar-winning role as George M. Cohan in Yankee Doodle Dandy is a fine example of his versatility, and he portrayed silent star Lon Chaney in Man of a Thousand Faces. That he was also adept at high comedy is evident from his breathtaking performance in Billy Wilder’s One, Two, Three. Three Cagney features will screen in full, along with excerpts from some extremely rare films.

pHiloSopHical conceptS in film: life, deatH and tHe QueStion of meaning

Many films are driven by significant and memorable philosophical ideas about life, death and meaning. Philosophical, especially existential and ontological, ideas can be traced through the fabric of many recent films such as Avatar, Gran Torino and The Matrix; masterpieces such as Citizen Kane, Gone with the Wind and La Dolce Vita; and cult favourites like Pulp Fiction, Blade Runner and El Topo. What are these great ideas? Are the filmmakers faithful to the philosophical arguments? What is it about these philosophical ideas that make them suitable for mass dissemination, and also make them unforgettable? Join us and find out!

He was a suave song-and-dance man and the toast of Broadway, and she was a wise-cracking second-lead when they first teamed up in 1934 for Flying Down to Rio. Together, they elevated the film musical during the 1930s, creating some of the most memorable dance duets ever filmed and introducing some of the greatest popular songs of the era. The ten films they made together are as elegant and entertaining today as ever they were. We will look at the pair both as an an on-screen couple and as individuals, and three features will screen in full as well as numerous excerpts including some unforgettable dance sequences.

This course offers you a rich immersion in creative nonfiction, practical tuition and instruction in composition and style, along with plenty of opportunities to write and be inspired. You'll learn how to approach nonfiction writing with imagination, discipline and lyricism. The course explores the distinctions between fiction and nonfiction and the meanings of real and truthful. It encourages writers to understand nonfiction as literature, and shows them how to employ imagination, discipline, creativity and lyricism in its composition, just as one would in fiction. Although a work of nonfiction can be every bit as literary in its diction and design as a novel, nonfiction cleaves to the actual - something that places a heavy burden of truth-telling upon the writer and reorients imagination from invention to witness.

Sometimes melancholy and despairing, at other times bursting into a thunder that dissolves into plaintive reflection, the music of Chopin stands alone, occupying a unique place in the history of the piano. It touches us with its strength as well as its beauty. More so, perhaps, than with any other composer, performance styles of Chopin’s music can be just as important as the notes themselves. In this course we explore the characteristics of Chopin's music and look at the ways different interpretations can influence our listening experience of his greatest works.

Wagner in dreSden

In 1843, following the success of his grand opera Rienzi at the new opera house in Dresden, Richard Wagner became Kapellmeister to the Saxon court. His next two operas _Der fliegende Holländer and Tannhäuser premiered there, and Lohengrin was composed there. However, Wagner was unhappy in his role as a glorified servant and actively backed the Dresden Revolt of 1849. Forced to flee the country when this failed, he sought refuge with his friend Franz Liszt in Weimar before escaping to Switzerland. This exciting story is the subject of the second part of looking forward to the 2013 anniversary of the births of Wagner and Verdi.

ENGLISHunderStanding engliSH grammar

Could explain you the errors sentence this in? Speaking a language doesn't necessarily mean we can describe all its grammatical rules or know about the intricacies of its workings. This course is designed for already fluent and competent English speakers who would like to explore the rules, patterns and structures which contribute to making sense of what we say and write. Uncertain and disputed areas of grammar will be dealt with as they arise, as well as some basic rules of spelling and punctuation. You need never be subdued by a subjunctive, perplexed by a passive or agitated about an apostrophe again!

It's surprising and sometimes discouraging, how often we are judged by the way we speak. Overseas-born professionals can find it difficult to have their skills recognised in a new environment because of the way their accent is interpreted. Through interactive workshops focusing on speech sounds, intonation and social context, you'll identify your own trouble spots and learn techniques to enhance your spoken English in order to reinforce your professional capabilities.

We will approach the early twentieth century by examining the differences between the ‘continental’ approach exemplified in Existentialism, Phenomenology, and Frankfort School Critical Theory, against the Anglo/American approaches to philosophy in pragmatism and positivism, and Analytic theory. We will also look at some eccentric philosophers who defy easy categorization: such as Santayana, and social theorists such as Weber. T. S. Eliot’s The Wasteland (1922) will provide a literary context for the mood of the times.

tHe longeSt Journey: dante’S Hell

"Abandon hope all ye who enter here...." With these words Dante passes through the gate of hell and begins his epic journey through the nine circles. Dante's work has a visionary scope that is arguably unparallelled in the literature. We examine the central ideas and concerns, Dante's literary and philosophical debts, his message to his contemporaries (and to the modern world), and the details of this astonishing journey through a landscape that is at once evocative, timeless, awe-inspiring and unforgettable.

ANCIENT HISTORYancient alexandria: ligHtHouSe, library and learning

This one day course examines the archaeological and textual evidence for the ancient city of Alexandria, today largely hidden under the modern metropolis. Founded by Alexander the Great in 332 BCE, it became one of the greatest cities of antiquity, largely due to its strategic location on the Mediterranean coast. Under the Ptolemaic Dynasty it received a huge lighthouse to ensure the safety of its harbour, a library which was unrivalled and the 'Mouseion', a renowned centre of learning and scholarship. Incorporated into the Roman world with the death of Cleopatra, Alexandria would remain a city of learning down to the 5th Century AD.

Lyon was a major centre of the European textile industry, specializing in silk and it continues as a centre of haute couture in France.

Stages of design and production, including the important oriental influences are traced from Medieval Fairs to the Napoleonic Wars. The sumptuous commissions under the Consulate and the Empire are examined. We focus too on the living and working conditions of the silk workers and their revolt in 1831.

coming of age: auStralian literature 1988-2002

Australia and Australian literature went through an astonishing transformation in the 70’s and 80’s, which continued with intensity over the following decade. Besides ‘celebrating’ the bi-centennial, Australian literature found itself coming of age. No longer culturally cringing, writers could be proud of a rich tradition behind them. With energy and imagination, they took on global and national issues while crossing genre boundaries with great success. This course will introduce some major Australian texts and writers of the period from 1988 to 2002. While its main focus will be on fiction, poetry and non-fiction, there will also be an emphasis on texts which aim to subvert or question such generic boundaries. Other issues to be discussed will include the re-writing of Australian history from postcolonial and Indigenous perspectives and the representation of gender and sexuality in recent Australian writing.

reading poetry: non-WeStern voiceS in tranSlation

Poetry is a common language all over the world but it has taken awhile in the evolution of English poetry for the great, unknown non-European voices to be translated and published. This has brought new ways of seeing and things seen—deserts instead of daffodils, onion-domes instead of spires. The impact has been immediate and intense, enriching and revitalizing the Western poetic tradition. This course will introduce many of the most important and interesting of these masters from Russia, the ‘Orient’ (Turkey and North Africa), Eastern Europe, South America and Asia. The course will also introduce the process and complexities of translation. Participants will have an opportunity to attempt simple translations themselves during weekly workshops. Besides giving great pleasure and reading wonderful poems, the course will aim to develop the participants’ understanding of genre and their critical abilities in all areas of reading and writing.

Sri lanka: a Journey tHrougH tHe Holy iSland

Since the age of the Roman Empire westerners have been drawn with fascination to the sublime beauty, wealth and cultural richness of Sri Lanka. When met with the tropical magnificence of the island early Christian explorers thought they had discovered the last earthly remnants of the Garden of Eden, far to the east dropping like a glistening pearl into the Indian Ocean. Islamic sailors called it Serendip, a word that has come to suggest extreme luck and good fortune. Today the Island’s name, Sri Lanka, translates in Sanskrit to the ‘Holy’ or ‘Blessed Island’. With the end of the country’s recent political troubles, travel through Sri Lanka is once again an opportunity not to be missed. In this tour we will experience the wonders of ancient Buddhist culture and civilisation, wildlife on a par with an African safari, and the old-world charm of Sri Lanka’s colonial heritage. This tour is for anybody who is interested in history, religions and culture of one of Asia’s least known, most beautiful, but long neglected, travel destinations.

The region takes us back to France's crucial moments in history and to some of its finest works of art. Angers, located on the river Maine is referred to as the gateway to the Loire Valley and was once the capital of the Anjou region.
