COMPETING VOICES Three Workshops on Configurations of Authorship in Contemporary Cinema by Pam Cook Professor Pam Cook will lead three postgraduate workshops on different approaches to authorship in contemporary cinema. Students will be expected to contribute to all sessions. Session 1: INTER-TEXTS, CONTEXTS - Tuesday 24 September, 11am-1pm, Collaborative Learning Space 1 The session will centre on cinematic authorship and adaptation, exploring Baz Luhrmann’s translation of classic literary texts into cinematic language in William Shakespeare’s Romeo + Juliet (1996) and The Great Gatsby (2013). We shall also look at how Luhrmann’s ‘voice’ gains authority through his role in promoting his films. Session 2: EXTRA-TEXTS, CONTEXTS - Wednesday 25 September, 9:30am-11am, Collaborative Learning Space 1 This session will focus on Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette (2006) and Coppola’s performance of the ‘commerce of auteurism’. We shall look at how Coppola’s status as celebrity auteur is constructed and consolidated across multiple media sites, and how that relates to the interrogation of celebrity culture in The Bling Ring (2013). Session 3: QUESTIONS OF AUTEURISM - Thursday 26 September - 9:30am-11am, Collaborative Learning Space 1 This session will feature individual and/or group presentations by students, and discussion of issues raised in the workshops.
