Section Title: Censorship, Cinema, & Culture Section Info: BANNED! Censorship, Cinema, and Culture Censorship has been a part of the global cinematic landscape since the inception of film as an industrialized art form in the 1890s. Importantly, censorship has been wielded as a tool to construct, reinforce, suppress, and erase various cultural, social, and political modes and expressions. This course will trace the role of censorship in film and the ways in which it has come to play a critical role in the cultural function of films. Examining a series of films banned across the globe, we will address the ways in which film has become a battleground in the “culture wars” around sex, political ideology, gender, race, revolution, class, violence, and pleasure.
