Title Pulp Fictions: Jacobean Tragedy and American Film Noir
Description This course juxtaposes two genres distant in time from one another but sharing a dark and violent imaginative space: Jacobean tragedy and classic American film noir. Looking at plays staged in the first decades of the seventeenth century and movies produced between 1944 and 1955, we'll focus on the alienated heroes, witty murderers, femme fatales and other sexual outlaws they have in common, as well as their shared melancholia, louche locales, and moral ambiguities.
