FDT 226 - Issues in Film: Gender Race Ethnicity

Institution:

Chatham University

Subject:

Description:

This course examines some of the major theoretical issues developed in film theory and practice. Emphasis is placed on ways in which the film text is also a social text that can be used to examine underlying assumptions and ideas with regards to issues of gender, race, and ethnicity. The class attempts to go beyond plot and theme analysis to probe for examinations of how culture shapes the way people think, and, in the process, what it selectively leaves out.
