Università Roma Tre

The course of Contemporary Cinema and Serial Television is part of the activities that each student of the DAMS BA can choose in the free section of his/her study plan and is taught explicitly for the Film and Media Studies program. If the program generally gives the historical and theoretical background to understand all audiovisual forms, the aim of this class is the analysis of audiovisual fiction narratives produced after 1989 in Europe and the US and of their contexts. The course is dedicated to students that have already passed the classes of film and media history and analysis, and it focuses upon the most significant changes within the cultural scenario of media industries and uses, and how such transformation falls upon narratives and the experience configuration. The course aims to give to its students the framework needed to analyze the complexity of contemporary production, also considering the cultural and socio-economic context of globalization, the configuration of subjects, and the main aesthetics and theoretical tendencies.
