  • ANTH 0163: Latinos in The us Cinematic Imagination

    3.00 Credits
    Tufts University

    Since the inception of the American film industry, U.S. Latinos have been (mis)represented in Hollywood feature films intended primarily for non-Latino audiences. In this course, students will examine how images of Latinos and their communities have been constructed in Hollywood films produced from the silent era to the present. Students will contrast these images with those constructed by Latino filmmakers when they began making films in the 1970s, contesting Hollywood stereotypes with more accurate and nuanced constructions of their communities. Weekly film viewings illustrate how filmmakers of different ethnic/racial/national backgrounds employ cinematic images to express their views on issues relevant to the Latino experience such as immigration, language choice, changing gender roles, racial and ethnic identity, and inter-ethnic relations. Readings will familiarize students with the emergent body of Latino-produced film criticism.

  • ANTH 0164: Media, The State, And The Senses

    3.00 Credits
    Tufts University

    States mobilize mass media to strengthen nationalism, spur development, and protect regimes. Yet, people interpret media in complex ways; they delight in media's excesses; they contextualize media within their everyday lives. We examine how people actively sense and make sense of media. People also engage in processes of media production that yield other ways of place-making, objectifying ethics, and practicing politics. We will attend to the possibilities and limitations of diverse media technologies (television, film, radio, cassette tapes, newspapers, and the Internet) due to material forms and institutional structures. Ethnographic examples from a variety of locations will be included.
