Middle Eastern and North African Cinema
Course #: CINE 352L
Description:
This course focuses on how Middle Eastern and North African films have reflected, perpetuated, and criticized national ideologies, as well as how themes of individual and collective identity, memory, and trauma have been represented by filmmakers. By exploring how films have told stories about socio-cultural conflicts, we will open further questions about the place of cinema in nation building and in the formation of historical narratives. The course's specific theme varies from semester to semester, depending on the national contexts being studied. Taught in English. CINE 352L and MLLC 352Land ARABIC 352L are the same course.
