ASRC 4575
"The Hero Can't Be Dead Until the Last Reel": Caribbean Cinema and Society

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2014-2015.

This course will trace the early cinema of the Caribbean ("The Harder They Come," "Black Shack Alley," etc.) up to recent 'new wave' films ("Better Mus' Come," "SistaGod," etc.), within context of the Caribbean's socio-political, historical, and literary trends. Along with regular viewing of films and listening to music, several fiction and non-fiction texts will be studied. Close attention will be paid to how the 'cinematic gaze' represents a society which is still defining itself since the end of the colonial period.

When Offered Spring.
