1 GLOBAL STUDIES: POLITICS AND FILM Johns Hopkins University Center for Talented Youth Politics and Film (CTY Catalog Course Description) As early masterworks like Sergei Eisenstein s Battleship Potemkin (Russia, 1925) and Fritz Lang s Metropolis (Germany, 1927) illustrate, film has always been a key medium for exploring and confronting urgent political and social concerns around the world. By dramatizing important, controversial events and situations, directors place viewers into narrative contexts that allow them to experience people and circumstances that might otherwise remain somewhat remote. This course examines films from different cultures and traditions that deal with some of the most pressing international political issues of our time. From Spike Lee s exploration of identity and conflict in the urban landscape in Do the Right Thing (United States, 1988) to Jia Zhangke s poignant portrait of globalization in The World (China, 2004), students analyze crucial works of world cinema within the complex social and historical contexts which give rise to such films. Beginning with a classic of political filmmaking, Gillo Pontecorvo s The Battle of Algiers (Algeria, 1967), students learn the language of contemporary film criticism and focus on critical issues such as poverty and violence, the just use of force, imperialism, and oppression based upon race, ethnicity, nationality, class, gender, and sexuality. Students also consider how directors approach political issues from different perspectives and narrative techniques. This course is divided into 4 units: 1.) Film and Revolution, 2.) Film and Globalization, 3.) Film and Feminism, and 4.) Film and Mass Culture. Students study six complete films in depth, and write and revise four formal critical essays. Through intense discussion and analytical writing, students grapple with some of the most prescient issues that our world faces today and gain the foundational skills necessary to successfully engage the ever-increasing complex global society in which we all live.
