All students are expected to attend and participate in person at the assigned day/time. (F2F) Prerequsite: FST 205 Junior or Senior standing African cultures, religions, traditions and epistemologies were subject to European erasure and replacement during Europe’s colonial occupation in Africa. Consequently, the post-colonial African identity, since the 20th Century, has been further complicated by the resulting hybridization, the effects of which extend to African cultural products like its cinemas. In this seminar class, we are examining Post-colonial Africa and its cinematic articulation of an African identity. Looking at their aesthetics, industries, and social, historical and political contexts, we will explore how these cinemas navigate the complexities around identity, while also invoking new ways to challenge their European conceptualizations. Our study will take us through cinemas in North, West, South and East Africa.

| Senior Seminar in Film Study: The Rhetoric of Disney - 23204 - FST 496 - 004 | |||||||||||||||||||||
|
All students are expected to attend and participate in person at the assigned day/time. (F2F) Prerequsite: FST 205 Junior or Senior standing The focus of this course will be to do a more penetrative study of what Disney’s motto, “Movies, Magic and More” represents. Students will interrogate the Disney ethos, its corporate as well as its ethical and global appeal. When deciphering the Disney ethos, efforts will be made to enrich understanding of Disney as marketer, educator, moral arbitrator. Operating under the assumption that no texts go untainted by ideology and seen through the theoretical framework of Kenneth Burke’s “terministic screens” and other rhetorical principles, students will uncover the ramifications of all that Disney represents in its films, music, merchandise, and ways Disney screens in or out its worldviews in an especially moralistic way. We will cover the Disney aesthetic and its products as social forces, ideological sites of power, and rhetorical constructs of appeals to an audience.
