Prostitution in Film

Course available by permission of instructor
only.
The course will view films and read texts that
center on the prostitution, 'the world's oldest
profession'. Prostitution has been a subject of
singular fascination since biblical times. We
will
consider the construction of prostitution in a
range of cinema, including mainstream work,
alternative experimental fiction, as well as
documentary films. Our investigation will
necessarily intersect with questions of the
representation of sexuality, and exploitation in
a more global sense. Offered by Program in Film
and Video.
