  • BKST 227: The Black Image in American Film

    3.00 Credits
    Knox College

    Since the beginning of the American film industry, white, black and other filmmakers have used the black image to interrogate American identity. This course focuses upon the often contentious dialog between white and black filmmakers, critics, and activists over the creation and control of the black image-a struggle that has been a fundamental component of the American film industry since its creation. Examination of this artistic conflict helps students to explore the larger social struggles and issues surrounding race in American society, as well as to experience the richness of African American culture and the vibrant history of American film and criticism. Above all, students learn to see the political, social and economic context in which film is created, viewed, and understood. Some of the issues to be discussed include: the black aesthetic; representations of the black family, religion, and gender/sexuality by Hollywood vs. independent black films; the changing black image in film over time; the business and economics of filmmaking. Prereq: Sophomore standing required . One of the following suggested: BKST 101, HIST 122, HIST 161, GWST 101, AMST 285 or permission of the instructor.; CL: AMST 227, HIST 227; K. Hamilton, M.

  • BKST 228: Environmental Racism

    3.00 Credits

    This course focuses upon issues of environmental pollution, and how the cost to human health is often distributed according to race and poverty. Various proposals devised by environmental and civil rights groups working within the growing environmental justice movement are also explored. The goal of this course is to help students understand more fully how decisions affecting the health of neighborhoods, regions, and groups of people are made, and what individuals can do about it. The link between environmental issues and past and present discrimination is examined from an interdisciplinary perspective, requiring students to do some work in both the natural and social sciences. Some fieldwork will also be required. CL: ENVS 228, HIST 228; DV; P. Schwartzman, K. Hamilton
