Hi all, as promised here is the preparatory assignment for this week's seminar:
The reading is: Edmund Burke, 'A Philosophical Enquiry into the Origin of our ideas of the Sublime and the Beautiful', pp. 53-79 (although it may help you to read the first part of this, also in the theory pack).
And I'd like you to:
"Take one section from the Burke essay, and describe in about 150 words one moment from a film or television programme (of your choice) that exemplifies the characteristic he describes."
OBSCURITY - Laura & Michelle
POWER - Ed, Lucy & Ellie
VASTNESS and INFINITY - Krisztina & Damon
SOUND and LOUDNESS - Alfred, Rosen & Kristina
FEELING / PAIN - Jack & Ben
The reading is split into sections, which are headed by different characteristics - so pay particular attention to the one to which you have been assigned. Please do choose any moment from any film/TV programme that you can think of, I'd be interested to have a diverse selection of moments for us to think about. Let me know if you're confused at all.
Tom.
