HIST 052: Power in Film
Units: 4
Explores the power of cinema, especially movies designed for popular audiences. We ask how movies tell stories of the past and present, and how films engage questions of race, class, gender, sexuality, and/or nation, all of which are products of longer historical experiences. Course pairs film screenings with academic texts to highlight film’s power to tell stories, create communities, and reinforce or resist ideas of the present and past. Themes vary by instructor.
