Course Catalog Description
This course will focus on topics in national, transnational, and global cinema, television, photography, and/or new media.
Class Description
Global Hollywood pushes back against whitewashed formulations of genre theory, the star system, and semiotics by reconsidering the subversive star personas of Sessue Hayakawa, reading film theory by James Baldwin, and foregrounding the rich yet vastly undertheorized history of migration and immigration throughout film history. Finally, we will address how race and ethnicity (as social, economic, and political categories) have been mobilized to foster cross-cultural understandings, resistance movements, and public policy changes in our rapidly changing media world.
