1 HOLLYWOOD AND THE WILD WEST Professor Wise University of North Texas Spring 2016 Roy Rogers filming in Lone Pine, California, 1938 This class provides a rigorous introduction to the critical study of western films from an historical perspective. We will study how the genre s art and performance have helped create and subvert popular understandings of western history, and how the genre s consistent popularity attests to its flexibility in interpreting complex historical relationships between freedom, violence, race, gender, and social inequality. So too, we will explore how imaginations of the American West as a wild place have opened possibilities for understanding nonhuman actors such as animals, the weather, or the earth itself as significant agents in historical transformations, a characteristic of western films that can powerfully disturb and naturalize viewers cultural and political expectations. Students will learn to uncover, identify, and analyze from a critical perspective the meta-narratives of western history that have framed these historical visions in both past and present.
