Moving Images and Gender

Taught in English, first cycle level, first half of the semester. Recommended also for exchange students and international free movers interested in moving images and gender studies. Lectures and screenings in Filmhuset.

The course provides the students with tools to understand and critically analyze film and other moving images from a gender perspective. Drawing on various film and media theories that engage with issues of gender, the course offers an orientation in the field’s central debates, methods and concepts—in this way, the course illuminates a wide spectrum of concerns relating to gender, body, and sexuality in film and other moving images. Students will explore close readings of audiovisual modes of representation and address as well as contextual aspects relating to production and reception.
