Caribbean Cinema

Catalog description

In this course we will examine the development of film from the Dominican Republic over the last three decades; we will analyze representations of gender, race, ethnicity, class, and sexuality in the cinematic arts, across genres such as comedy, drama, romance and documentary in both short films and feature films. We will examine how these factors contribute to understandings of home, citizenship, and identity within the Dominican nation. This course will be taught in Spanish. MCA students may do written assignments in English. Readings will be posted on Blackboard.
