WIC 197 - A Multi-Media Study of WWII

Institution:

Franklin College - Indiana

Subject:

Description:

Major events and cultural conditions related to World War II will be studied through mass media depictions. Required readings will be supplemented by films, broadcasts, songs, propaganda vehicles, and news stories to provide insights into both the battlefront and the home front. Counts as intercultural credit. Note: While much of the media material used in the course is entertaining and inspirational, some images and details presented are shocking, offensive and disturbing. Satisfies the intercultural exploratory requirement. Additional expenses: Non-overnight field trips may be possible on non-class days (Fridays), depending on several circumstances, especially weather. Potential destinations: World War Memorial in Indianapolis; USS Indianapolis Memorial in Indianapolis; American Legion in Indianapolis; Holocaust museum in Terre Haute; Voice of America historic site near Dayton; U.S. Air Force Museum in Dayton. Another possible expense would be an optional Army field rations meal, and/or a typical 1940s home front dinner.
