COM 325 - Women and Film (4 Cr.) (WS 325)
This course will examine the relationship between women and the film industry, from the days of silent film to the 21st century. We will look at the roles women have played, both in front of and behind the camera-from the female star of the classical Hollywood “woman’s” film of the 1930’s-1940’s, and the iconic stereotypes that have pervaded Hollywood gendered discourse, to the re-emergent role of women as directors, screenwriters, and producers in contemporary Hollywood and world cinemas. Interrogating the role of women as icons, producers, and consumers, we will try to understand where we came from and how we got to the here and now. Hollywood, independent, and international film will be examined. Prerequisites: and/or , or ; departmental and college writing proficiency; junior or senior status; or permission of the instructor. Repeatable if the topic is different. Variable semesters: Peroutka, Burton.
