This course analyzes the main tenets of crucial political events throughout the 20th and the 21st centuries and their representation in cinema. By looking into the connections between major political ideologies and milestone movies in cinema history, the course aims to provide students a better understanding of the events that transpired in recent history and their impacts within a critical framework. The course also makes use of theoretical works by known scholars in the field to deliver an in depth examination of a wide range of notions such as propaganda, war, activism, ethics, rights, role of media, social psychology, authority, ethnic conflict, terrorism, self-determination, mass surveillance, immigration and other international dynamics. |
