(fomerly same course as COMM 244) 3 units 4 hours weekly Advisory: Eligibility for ENGL 099 and READ 099. This course introduces students to different gender, racial, sexual, and cultural images in American and international cinema through the examination of representative films and filmmakers. It examines the evolution of cultural, racial, and sexual stereotypes in film and contrasts those images with efforts by filmmakers to challenge such stereotypes and more accurately portray diversity in cinema. The successful student will become more aware of the complex interplay between cultural representations in cinema and audience perceptions and become more adept at applying critical theories to analyze these images. The films, texts, and classroom materials examine a broad range of domestic, independent, and international cinema, making students aware of the culture, politics, and social history of the periods in which the films were produced.
