In this course

Mari Kuttna was a respected film critic and translator (1934–1983) whose work bridged academic and popular film discourse through reviews in *Sight and Sound*, *Montage*, and *The Lady*. Baudrillard dedicated his lecture "The Evil Demon of Images" to her memory, suggesting her critical practice was foundational to thinking about how images function ideologically—a central concern for the course's investigation of visual culture, simulation, and representation in the age of mechanical reproduction. Her role appears primarily as a symbolic anchor for humanist film criticism rather than as a theorist cited directly in the course's arguments about AI and cybernetics.
