Our world truly has become a global village. We are growing increasingly interdependent in terms of pollution, scientific research, economic development, disease control, mass media, etc. Yet we know so little about one another's cultures we find it difficult to communicate clearly. This course considers the cultural differences we must grow to understand, the reasons for cultural conflicts, and the possibilities of resolving these conflicts. Satisfies upper level core. 0.000 TO 4.000 Credit Hours 0.000 TO 4.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture Contemporary Arts College Contemporary Arts Department

In this course we will screen a cross-section of movies by Israeli and Palestinian filmmakers. By studying historical and recent cinema from both countries, we will analyze how content, style, and other audio/visual elements portray this complex and bloody struggle for security and independence. We will watch and discuss work from a variety of genres but focus on the some of the grimmest films in which philosophical, political, economic and other interdisciplinary reference to qualities and definitions of "nihilism." We will trace the past 50 years of filmmaking in this region of the Middle East focusing on ways that they "depict a belief that life is pointless and human values are worthless." (Encarta World English Dictionary 1999 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. Developed for Microsoft by Bloomsbury Publishing Plc.) A deep sense of futility and failure pervades innovative cinema by Israelis and Palestinians: of lost opportunities, of past collaborations, of so many dashed hopes. After viewing a film straight through, we may repeat, and review segments to facilitate discussions. In order to provide context for films and issues, we will also read about and discuss the history, religions, and international politics surrounding this significant part of the world. 0.000 TO 4.000 Credit Hours 0.000 TO 4.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture Contemporary Arts College Contemporary Arts Department Course Attributes: CA-School Core-400 Level

What does Diaspora mean in the global village Why study Jewish and African experiences as evidence of culture in exile What can be learned by looking at visual art as it relates to these questions The seminar provides a forum for students who have thought about contemporary culture and art in many Ramapo courses to develop and accomplish an interdisciplinary thesis in the form of a creative visual project or text representing an aspect of the postmodern condition. The diasporas vision fuels my artwork which often merges Jewish/African influences. Students will visit galleries, museums, and educational institutions where multicultural art is regularly exhibited. The seminar will have several technological components and will be international in scope. 0.000 TO 4.000 Credit Hours 0.000 TO 4.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture Contemporary Arts College Contemporary Arts Department Course Attributes: CA-School Core-400 Level

This seminar explores the complex relationship between contemporary films and the culture in which they are produced, with special attention to films that base their narratives on historical events and people (for example, SCHINDLER'S LIST, A MIGHTY HEART, THE QUEEN, CAPOTE, BUS 174, PAN'S LABYRNTH, THE TAKE, THE LIVES OF OTHERS, AMERICAN SPLENDOR, and others). What do these films tell us about the events and people they are about, and what do they tell us about the time period in which they were produced How does the form of films--the choices regarding narrative material, editing, characterization, and visual style--influence the interpretation of important cultural and historical periods or events What cultural myths do these films create, or reinterpret, about the particular society that produces them How does the evolution and transformation of film genres and genre conventions contribute to the ideological negotiation of meanings in contemporary films Film, History, Culture and Myth satisfies the 400-level capstone portfolio course requirement for students in the Media Cinema Studies concentration of the Communication Arts major. The principle outcome of the seminar will be a major portfolio paper or project that meets the guidelines of scholarly publication, in which students draw on both in-class and outside screenings, discussion, readings, and research. 0.000 TO 4.000 Credit Hours 0.000 TO 4.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture, Seminar Contemporary Arts College Contemporary Arts Department Course Attributes: CA-School Core-400 Level
