ANTHRO 135SSex, Race, and Difference in Transnational Film
Anthropology · 5 units · Undergraduate upper division (100-199)
How are sex, race, and cultural difference represented and constructed in transnational film? Use of lens of transnational film to better understand how discourses of race, gender, sex, and sexuality intersect in formation of identities, structures of inequality, and notions of cultural difference. Draws upon scholarship in feminist anthropology, ethnic studies, and film studies to develop analytical tools for examining selection of films that address dynamism of race, gender, sexuality and cultural difference across time (historically) and across space (in different geographical locations) in transnational contexts.
