  • Film Genre and Its Vicissitudes: the Case of the Psychothriller 1
    FILM GENRE AND ITS VICISSITUDES: THE CASE OF THE PSYCHOTHRILLER 1 Virginia Luzón Aguado Universidad de Zaragoza This paper is the result of an exploration into the contemporary psychothriller and its matrix genre, the thriller. It was inspired by the lack of critical attention devoted to this type of film, so popular with the audience yet apparently a thorn in the critics' side. The main aim of this paper is therefore to contribute a small piece of criticism to fill this noticeable gap in film genre theory. It begins with a brief overview of contemporary film genre theory, which provides the background for a vindication of the thriller as a genre and specifically of the psychothriller as a borderline sub-generic category borrowing features from both the thriller and the horror film. When I first started work on this paper I realised how difficult it was to find theoretical material on the thriller. Certain genre critics actually avoided the term thriller altogether and others mentioned it but often seemed to be either unsure about it or simultaneously, and rather imprecisely, referred to different types of films, such as detective films, police procedural films, political thrillers, courtroom thrillers, erotic thrillers and psychothrillers, to name but a few. But the truth of the matter is that "the thriller" as such has rarely been analysed in books or articles devoted to the study of genre and when it has, one can rarely find anything but a few short paragraphs dealing with it. Yet, critical work devoted to other acknowledged and well-documented genres such as melodrama, comedy, film noir, horror, the western, the musical or the war film is easily accessible.

Office Hours: 8-5 Shop / M-F Office Phone: 468-4416 Class Web Blog: www.nitratehorrors.blogspot.com Email: [email protected] Textbook: "Chronicles of Terror: Silent Screams" Steve Haberman, Luminary Press, ISBN #: 1-887664-39-4 Prerequisites: I. Course Description: This lecture course is an introductory overview of the development of the horror film in modern cinema. We will trace it's roots through it's earliest beginnings, analyzing the artistic, social and political ramifications of the silent era of "golden age cinema", up through the earliest sound-based efforts of the "talkie" motion picture. Students will be given information that links many of the surrounding conditions that contributed to what we consider today to be a viable genre of film that once began as the "genre-that-never-existed". The goal of this course is to pique an interest in not only the historical, artistic and literate merits of a subject which students can relate to, but to create an understanding of the conditions surrounding the subject that will then offer a larger “world view”. By understanding the bigger picture through interconnections with the art movements that ran parallel to the phenomenon of early cinema, students can start to investigate and question the many related subjects and conditions that effected the silent film genre. II. Intended Learning Outcomes/Goals/Objectives (Program/Student Learning Outcomes): We will study, through lecture, interaction and viewing of the films themselves, what established the notions of the horror film and what possible explanations may exist as to why this genre came into being, thus influencing our modern perceptions of not only cinema, but society and our perceptions of reality.

DESCRIPTORS *Critical Thinking; Curriculum Enrichment; *Films; *History Instruction; Secondary Education; Social Studies; *Television; Television Viewing; Videotape Recordings; *Visual Literacy IDENTIFIERS Film Aesthetics; *Film History; *Film Theory ABSTRACT History teachers should be less concerned with having students try to re-experience the past and more concerned with teaching them how to learn from the study of it. Keeping this in mind, teachers should integrate more critical film and television analysis into their history classes, but not in place of reading or at the expense of traditional approaches. Teachers must show students how to engage, rather than suspend, their critical faculties when the projector or television monitor is turned on. The first major section of this book, "Analyzing a Moving Image as a Historical Document," discusses the two stages in the analysis of a moving image document: (1) a general analysis of content, production, and reception; and (2) the study of the moving image document as a representation of history, as evidence for social and cultural history, as evidence for historical fact, or as evidence for the history of film and television.
