Section Title:
Xenophobia in Film
Section Info:
Topic Section G: Xenophobia in Film Xenophobia is usually defined as the fear of strangers and narrowly used to refer to immigrants. 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.
