ANTHRO 135S

Sex, Race, and Difference in Transnational Film

Lecture, three hours; discussion, one hour (when scheduled). 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. P/NP or letter grading.

Grey bars are non-letter outcomes — P/NP, S/U, incompletes. They are excluded from the GPA entirely rather than scored, because counting a P as a 4.0 would be a fabrication.

“Predicted” is shrunk toward the course average, which is itself shrunk toward the department — so an instructor with a handful of students sits near the course mean rather than topping the list.
