MESA 3380 - A Thousand and One Nights at the Cinema
Effective Date 09/23/2020
This course is devoted to the longstanding screen histories of A Thousand and One Nights. We will investigate the way in which the text has variously congealed into a cinematic genre in its own right; a catapult for explorations of the fantastic, iterated as the wonders of technology/medium and sensuality; a contested site of negotiating Orientalist desires and stereotypes; and a platform for reflection upon the question of storytelling itself.
Requisites Students can’t enroll if previously taken MESA 3559 topic 5 A Thousand and One Nights
