AIS 2323 - Indians in Film,TV & Popular Culture

Institution:

Northern Oklahoma College

Subject:

Description:

Students will examine depictions of American Indians in film, tv, and popular culture, which covers a span of some five centuries-beginning with Columbus' notebooks. The thrust of the course will be spent considering images of Indians asrepresented in Hollywood films and on television. More often than not, most images of Indians rely on stereotypes as opposed to well-developed characterizations. Students will scrutinize both historical and popular depictions and will delve into various reasons why such depictions were established and perpetuated. Once completed, students should have a broad knowledge of racial (Indian) stereotypes as maintained in Hollywood and promulgated by Popular Culture, the development and use of various archetypes (and how those types originated), as well as the kinds of imagery employed at this particular moment.
