ILC 271 World Cinema
An Integrative Learning course where students
receive CORE credit in both Arts & Letters-Literature and Social Science as well as Cultural Diversity.
This course will examine social justice and human
rights issues in global and local contexts through
critical engagement with world cinema. We will
interrogate the relationship between the
aesthetics and the politics of world cinema within
multiple cinematic traditions (e.g. Neo-Realism,
Third Cinema, Indigenous Media, etc.) and genres
(narrative cinema, documentary, etc.). We will
focus on the intersections between the global and
the local, between history and memory, and between
the self and the "other." Students will apply
their knowledge of the critical frameworks and
themes learned through the course to their
examination of similar issues in their community.
