Ethnic Images in Film

Catalog description

This course is an introductory study of the relationship between film and culture. It critically examines film as an active tool of cultural production in the U.S., interrogating dominant portrayals as well as multiple perspectives across marginalized communities. Through an interdisciplinary and intersectional approach, it explores how power is conveyed, perpetuated, and disrupted in the dynamic images representing race, ethnicity, culture, class, gender, sexual orientation, age, religion, and disability across American film.
