Description:

Asian American writers, artists, and filmmakers are complicating the notion of identity to explore new ideas and critical questions around citizenship.This is a notable shift that broadens the concept of both political and cultural belonging for the second-largest immigrant minority.The course will examine how Asian American filmmakers are adapting genre categories such as realism (documentary), romance (musicals), and comedy (animated/silent film) to both stress their historical presence in the U.S., to claim American citizenship, and to challenge racist stereotypes of "aliens" as outsiders and foreigner s.This course meets the U.S. diversity requirement. (Prerequisite: EN 12 or equivalent) Three credits.
