Cinema as Rebellion and Love

Catalog description

Addresses the politics of representation in media (that is, film, literature, music), particularly in times of social mayhem, revolution, and war. Questions the dynamics of power embedded in the production of “the other,” paying particular attention to how race, sexuality, and class, involved the processes of representation. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict will serve as one of our main case studies, as we will focus primarily on the cultural, sociological, and political representations of this dispute.
