Using extensive archival research, Dana Polan looks at, for example, Columbia University's early classes on Photoplay Composition; lectures at the New School for Social Research by famed movie historian Terry Ramsaye; the film industry's sponsorship of a business course on film at Harvard; and attempts by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to create programs of professionalized education at the University of Southern California, Stanford, and elsewhere. Polan examines a wide range of thinkers who engaged with the new art of film, from Marxist Harry Alan Potamkin to sociologist Frederic Thrasher to Great Books advocates Mortimer Adler and Mark Van Doren. 606 $aMotion pictures$xStudy and teaching$zUnited States 606 $aMotion picture industry 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMotion pictures$xStudy and teaching 615 0$aMotion picture industry. 676 $a791.43071/073 700 $aPolan$b Dana B.$f1953-$0889031 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457598803321 996 $aScenes of instruction$92320192 997 $aUNINA
