AMST 215C: The Gangster and the Detective
3.00 Credits
Saint John Fisher University
This course investigates the figures of the gangster and the detective in 20th-century America by exploring fictional representations of these figures in films and novels. In deciphering these texts, we explore the myths of gangsterdom, the recurring situation of the blurred line between the good guys and the bad guys, and the role of the detective in re-establishing the status quo. We base our discussions of these texts and issues within their socioeconomic context-such as the Roaring Twenties, the Depression, postwar America, the counterculture of the Sixties and the early Seventies, and the Reagan years. Ultimately, we explore the ways in which writers and directors use the metaphor of crime as a means of social critique and commentary.
