Morrissey College of Arts & Sciences
This course, designed for Boston College seniors, combines an intellectually challenging interdisciplinary study of a group of twelve diverse films with a semester-long formative discussion of each films relationship both to fundamental life questions and to your individual lives. What does it mean to be human? What does my human condition allow me to do, what does it oblige me to do? What does it mean to be a self? Who is that other sitting next to me, or ten thousand miles away from me, or the other/stranger in myself? What choices can I make to have a purposeful and good life? All the films chosen for this course ask/frame these questions in sometimes clear and obvious, sometimes in latent and subtle ways.
