ARHI 186Y PO - WMDs: Cinema Against War, Imperialism and Corporate Power.
CrsNo ARHI186Y PO
When Offered: Spring 2015.
Instructor(s): P. Jackson
Documentary films (weapons for mind decolonization) by human rights advocates offer critical narratives effectively silenced by the blare of commercial mass media and post-9/11 nationalism. Course explores how documentary filmmakers raise historical awareness, deconstruct the rhetoric of power elites, debunk the conceits of imperialism and dismantle the deceits of transnational corporations. Course promotes active spectatorship and creativity as the antidote to fear. Requires production of a mini-documentary.
