FIL 4848 - (CD) World Cinema and the Cross-Cultural Encounter

Institution:

University of North Florida

Subject:

FIL-Film

Description:

Prerequisite: FIL 2000 Based on a set of films that focus on the situation of the cross-cultural encounter —including tourism, immigration, and transnational romance—paired with critical readings in world cinema studies, this course will provide students with the analytical tools to address three central questions: What does it mean to be “abroad”? What are the pleasures, privileges, and perils of being “lost in translation”? And how does the cinema both reflect and participate in globalization? Our exploration of these questions will also entail that students be self-critical about how their encounter with world cinema is a cross-cultural experience. The principle analytical tools will be drawn from the diverse interdisciplinary fields of cinema and media studies, cultural studies, postcolonial studies, and cultural anthropology.
