Sense of the Other, A

• 1978 ----- color ----- 34 min ----- 16mm
• Explains the method of teaching literature through performance. Through the performance of students in the class, interviews with them, conversations with Professor Wallace A. Bacon and a class discussion of Macbeth, the film demonstrates that the student is led out from himself and the world he knows into the experience embodied in the plays of Shakespeare--a sense of the other. Professor Bacon's technique explores character motivation, use of language and dramatic structure. In his experimental approach the feel of literature is not apart from, but is congruent with meaning. Literature is to be experienced, not simply analyzed.
• Topics: (Drama, Education, Literature: English)
