POSC - 308. Film and Politics

3 credit(s)
Film has mass appeal and is readily accessible to most people, giving them a scope of influence few other media have. In this course we will treat films as texts (a text being a “coherent, delimited, comprehensible structure of meaning”) subject to interpretation in terms of political theory. In particular, we will read these texts for what they say about the politics of the human in local and global situations.
