Section Info:
Topic: Afriques-sur-Seine If cinema is a dream machine and colonialism was the space of fantasm and fetishism, film provides a particularly rich territory for examining the relationship between the cultural productions and representations of the Francophone hexagonal and African worlds. This course thus examines the �regards crois�s� between France and its former West and North African colonies across the 20th century and into the 21st. Topics covered include: gender, documentary, ethnography, realism, allegory, the representation of history, militantism, censorship, the political stakes of auteurism, exilic cinema, �target� audiences, internationalism, �post�-colonialism. Significant background in film studies and or French/Francophone studies required (for instance, FR 208, CINE 261, or equivalent/higher). Meets concurrently with FR 552. Taught in English, all films subtitled.
Restriction(s):
Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
