AFST 40477 - Third Cinema

Institution:

University of Notre Dame

Subject:

Africana Studies

Description:

"Third Cinema" is the terms for a wide, multicultural range of films from the Third World. The films' stylistic and thematic practices differentiate them from the Hollywood and European traditions that have dominated world cinema. We will not study these films merely as isolated masterpieces, but rather in relation to their larger cultural, historical, and theoretical contexts. To this end, the course readings will include essays concerning not only the films themselves but also the theoretical and political issues they engage: colonialism and post-colonialism, cultural, ethnic, racial, and sexual difference, and questions of otherness and multiculturalism.
