Cinema and/in Culture

Undergraduate

A study of cinema and its relationship to intersections of race, gender, class, and sexuality as well as its relationship to binaries such as first–third world, east–west, local–global, and national–transnational. The course interrogates cinema as a window to cultures, the transaction between social movements and cinema, the role of cinema in cross-cultural experience, and representations of race in Hollywood, Asian, and Asian diasporic cinema.
