Teaching (with) British film: Sally Potter’s Orlando

Ver documento

Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:Films in the English classroom can be regarded as the ambivalent products of both art and skill since they offer a variety of angles to explore the plot, characters, and conflicts stated or merely implied. Adapted from Virginia Woolf's 1928 novel by British filmmaker Sally Potter in 1993, Orlando can be an excellent resource for both language and culture in the English classroom. Living through four centuries, two as a man, two as a woman, Orlando studies the roles of men and women in whatever historical context he falls. This lesson plan focuses on the role of women in Victorian society, and especially of women writers, but several other issues could be raised by viewing Orlando, such as its representation of the English class system.
