GWST 490 - Issues and Themes in Black, Queer and Feminist Film
In this course we will be examining prominent issues and themes in selected films (on video and DVD) that fall within the categories "Black," "Queer," and "Feminist." These designations are themselves problematic and will be discussed in greater detail. Most of the films will be narrative (as opposed to strictly experimental) and will deal with important social and theoretical issues around race, gender, and sexuality. This course is not just about watching films. It will involve discussion, reading and writing as well. We shall make extensive use of selected theoretical and critical texts borrowed from the disciplines of psychoanalysis, feminist, literary, and queer theory, as well as from film history and theory. Prior knowledge of film-making and/or film history is not required. Also listed as ART 429.
