G. M. Hopkins                                 MTWR 0930 - 1045

This course studies the work and poetic theories of G. M. Hopkins, the nineteenth century poet who is acknowledged as a major precursor of modern poetry. However, he was unknown and unpublished in his own time because his poetry was quite revolutionary in the context of Victorian poetics. His highly original and exciting experimentation with poetic rhythms and language, and his revitalizing of the English poetic tradition, greatly influenced the development of the new poetry of the twentieth century, and he is today ranked among the major poets in English literature.

Media Studies

21074 FILM 380AN - C40            Philippe Mather   
French Science Fiction Film        MW  1800 - 2045

This course will provide a historical survey of French-language science-fiction cinema, examining form, content and cultural context in an effort to identify its unique characteristics. The unique contributions by French filmmakers to science fiction cinema are widely unknown, but greatly influenced the art of science fiction film. Georges Méliès took theatre audiences to the moon for the first time in 1902. Moreover, French science fiction comic strip artist Jean-Claude Mézières was clearly the inspiration for George Lucas' costume and set designers, who kept personal copies of Mézières' Valérian albums in their libraries when working on the Star Wars film series. In addition, a multi-disciplinary conference on French Science Fiction will take place at the university November 2-3, 2012. More information is available on the festival website: www.sf-fr.ca.
