COM 356 - Reel Patriotism: Military and War in Popular Culture*AEH

Credits: 4

COM 356 increases theoretical knowledge from an interdisciplinary stance of what the war film genre has to teach us about society, culture, and ourselves. We will consider ethical, moral, economic, and democratic implications for those stances through the readings and films we delve into throughout the course. Masculinity, power, trauma, race, and xenophobia will also be explored materially throughout the quarter. Research, writing, and critical thinking skills are honed through analysis of important films that built the genre during the Operation Enduring Freedom era.
