Perspective, or point of view, is a seemingly inescapable term in critical work on fiction. In this course we will study this concept as it has been developed in literary studies and, contrastively, in art history and film studies. We’ll enter two overlapping areas of study, one theoretical, one critical. The first concerns the concept of perspective as developed in literary theory, art theory, and film theory; the second concerns a set of fictions, paintings, and films Our aims will be to develop a more adequate understanding of the concept and to assess the implications of our current usage of it.
