HANS 320   THE DOCUMENTARY ACROSS MEDIA             Credits 3.00  Fall 01
This course examines how the documentary works in different media; radio,
print, film, photography, graphic arts, television, and the web. It asks how we
should think about the web, given that it is a medium that can bring together
text, still and moving images, and sound, and that it can allow both linear and
"hypertextual" navigation. By focusing on the documentary in different forms of
media, this course offers a comparative perspective that will lead to a greater
understanding of the genre as well as of communications media. To facilitate
the development of analytical, writing, and technical skills, this course will
be divided between seminars, which will stimulate in-depth analysis of
particular documentaries as well as of larger questions about representation
and form, and labs, which will furnish hands-on experience in working with
digital media. Enrollment is limited to 20 students.
