PS 305 - Politics in Film

Institution:

Juniata College

Subject:

Description:

(Fall; Yearly; 4.00 Credits; CW,H,S) This course is designed as an introduction to the study of political ideas as presented in motion pictures. We will look both at the direct representation of political ideas or points of view (especially through satire), and at the way Hollywood has shaped our ideas about the political process. Because film is very much a 20th century medium, we will look with special care at the two defining political events of this century, the crisis of Western democracy following World War I, and the Cold War.
