This seminar explores the cinematic vampire as a symbolic curator, critic, and connoisseur, one who collects, consumes, and reflects cultural concerns. Through films paired with philosophical and critical texts, we examine how vampires serve as mirrors, archivists, aesthetes, and subversive observers and how filmmakers stylistically foreground or reframe aspects of the vampire mythos.

Can architecture be understood in the same terms as a photograph? A piece of writing? A painting? A film? Or does it require its own vocabulary, rules, precedents, and sensibilities?
