AMCS 204 - Ethnic Studies, Storytelling, and Film
Unit(s): 3, Our primary focus will be a comparative study of American films from the mid-twentieth century till today. We begin with the understanding that media viewership is social. Films are cultural artifacts and the meanings we bring to our viewing and spectatorship are deeply affected by the social context of their consumption. In the US, racial capitalism and racism inform much of the context and creation of cinema. Applying an interdisciplinary ethnic studies approach, this course investigates the narrative and visual contours of storytelling and cultures of resistance in both mainstream (Hollywood) and alternative cinemas. We will supplement our inquiry through related works of literature (short story, poetry, and drama) in addition to readings in film theory, film history, cultural and Ethnic studies.
