In this course, we will consider the complex constructions of “race” in American film, addressing the following questions: how has the category of “race” been historically constructed, represented, and reproduced in American film? Why are dominant representations often so far removed from peoples’ “real” lives? How is the production of contemporary representations connected to the ways in which we continue to think about race? How do filmmakers resist static representations of race in the present, creating complex and liberating ways to rethink race, especially through its intersections with questions connected to gender, class, and sexuality? Looking at a range of films, from Spike Lee’s “classic” DO THE RIGHT THING to more recent films, such as Aurora Guerrero’s MOSQUITA Y MARI, Dee Rees’s PARIAH, and Isabel Sandoval’s LINGUA FRANCA, as well as analyzing essays by Sherman Alexie, Ta-nehisi Coates, Toni Morrison, Sofia Quintero, and Karen Tei Yamashita, among others, this course will address the complexities of these and other questions. This class satisfies a WAC Writing to Learn requirement, a Film Studies History and Analysis requirement, an English Department Diversity distribution requirement, and both a core Human Diversity requirement and Literature/Writing requirement for students under the old core program. This course also satisfies a Diversity, Inclusion, and Social Justice under the new core. This is a cross-listed course, with eight seats on the ENGL 297 side and 12 seats on the FILM 297 side. Prerequisite: ENGL 121, 190, 201, 202, 203, or 204.
