For this course, however, we will define xenophobia more broadly, and look at the way that films represent a range of Others, meaning people who are significantly different from the mainstream majority in a society. These differences can include nationality, sexuality, race, religion, ethnicity, class, and gender. We will study a range of genres, including horror, science fiction, comedy, romance, crime films, and pseudo-documentaries. The majority of these films will be made in the USA, but some English-language films from other countries will be screened as well. Evaluated work will include three medium-length papers, shorter response papers, and active participation in class discussion. While desirable, previous experience in film studies is not a requirement for enrolling in this course.
