About this course
This course analyzes the representation of various American cultures in film with a focus on media produced by and/or about at least three of the following groups: African Americans, Asian Americans, indigenous peoples of the United States, Chicanos/Latinos/Latinx, and/or European Americans. Applying core concepts of cinematic language and media theory, the course will examine how mainstream and independent cinema construct depictions of American cultures with an emphasis on stereotyping, otherness, and marginalization. These filmic representations of difference will be placed within historical and global contexts.
