DIGITAL DOCUMENTARY
In the last 20 years, new media technologies have transformed the documentary film. Just as innovative modes of production, online distribution, and exhibition have fundamentally changed documentary practice, dynamic forms of documentary have had a profound influence on how people view their local community and the broader world around them. This course explores how prominent filmmakers, public television stations, international human rights groups, and amateur videomakers have made use of and shaped today's changing documentary formats. We will examine films by Errol Morris, Oliver Stone, and Spike Lee, television programs by ESPN and PBS, online short productions by VICE and citizen journalists, and elaborate 3D projects by the New York Times. Special guest speakers in the field of documentary will visit our class to talk about the opportunities and challenges for making films and engaging audiences in an increasingly diversified media environment.

TELEVISION WRITING INTENSIVE
Prerequisites: apply directly to the School of the Arts. For more information please see:
http://arts.columbia.edu/summer/film/course/television-writing-intensive
.
The Television Writing Intensive is a six week, concentrated and encompassing introduction into the field of television writing, designed to prepare students for the professional worlds of sit-coms, one-hour dramas and police / medical procedurals. In an interconnected program consisting of two intensive writing workshops and a lecture series with guest writers and professionals in the field, students gain the knowledge and authority to explore, examine and create the kind of groundbreaking work that is taking over cable and making its way onto the Networks, here and around the world. The Television Writing Intensive focuses on two specific tracks. One track is the half-hour comedy; the other is the one-hour drama. These two formats, although having much in common, come out of different traditions and are conceived and written in different ways. * This intensive course will meet 15 hours per week, on Mondays and Tuesdays for six hours during the day (exact times TBD), and Thursday evenings for three hours (exact time TBD). These times are probable but subject to change based on availability of guest speakers and other opportunities which may arise, but the general format will stay the same if changes do occur. Meaning, the course will meet for two week days for six hours and one week night for three hours, avoiding Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.

ISSUES IN LEGAL PHILOSOPHY
This course considers some fundamental puzzles about the nature of law. Legal philosophers, judges, academic lawyers, and political scientists give very different answers to the following key questions: What is law? What kind of question is "what is law?"? Does law have a function and if so what is it? Is there a relationship between law and ideas of morality or social justice? Does law impose upon citizens an obligation to obey it and if so what is the nature of that obligation and how does it arise? Do we have an obligation to obey unjust laws? How should we interpret laws that are vague, ambiguous, or contradictory? How should judges in a democratic society decide legal disputes? How in fact do judges in our society decide legal disputes? Our goal is to wrestle with these problems and, with some luck, form our own ideas about whether and how they might be resolved. We will consider a variety of recent contributions from within legal, political, and moral philosophy, sociology, judicial political science, economics, the philosophy of language, and ,even literary interpretation. Our focus will be on the most important scholarly contributions in Anglophone legal philosophy, along with several landmark American court cases which raise important theoretical questions.

MODERN COMPARATIVE FICTION
LIT IMPRESSIONISM: 1874-1925
This course takes the “impression” as a cue to explore fiction, philosophy, and visual art of the period from roughly 1874, the year of the first Impressionist exhibition, to 1925, well into the Modernist period, in order to understand how and why “impressionism” came to have such central importance for writers, artists, and other thinkers. We will ask how and why this idea developed over time, how it influenced and was influenced by movements in realism and Modernism, and how the idea of the impression continues to influence the arts today. This class will be both international in scope, focusing on works by French, British, and American authors, and interdisciplinary, encompassing works of different literary genres, including the novel, the short story, and the sketch, as well as works of painting, photography, philosophy, psychology, and criticism. Each week will include discussions of numerous paintings of the period, and we will often focus on the relationships between different artistic media. The course will also include field trips to the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art. Authors to be covered include Zola, Maupassant, Pater, James, Crane, Hemingway, Ford, and Woolf. This course will satisfy the department’s genre requirement for prose fiction.

SHAKESPEARE
This course provides an introduction to Shakespeare through reading, discussing and, when possible, viewing local performances of his plays. Our in-class conversations will consist primarily of close analysis of the language and formal texture of the texts, centering on Shakespeare's highly complex techniques of characterization. We will also devote special attention to exploring the value of each play in our present moment and on our local stages. We'll read 8 plays in all, including Richard III, Midsummer Night's Dream, Julius Caesar, Merchant of Venice, Macbeth, and Hamlet.
