    (CA-AS)      
    Spring. Next offered 2016-2017. 4 credits.

    K. Howe.

    Headless horsemen, vanishing hitchhikers, wailing women, revenants, poltergeists, and spectres. Ghosts haunt the American landscape, and the Amercian imagination, their spectral shapes acting as the embodiment of cultural contradiction. They are present, but not present. They are remnants of history, and witnesses to it. They reassure the living that others have passed here before, yet they terrify us with their passing. In this course we will examine the figure of the ghost in American literature, film, and popular culture, paying special attention to the unique relationship between ghost narratives and the landscape of New York State. Readings will include current scholarship on ghostlore, together with authors including Washington Irving, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Edith Wharton, Henry James, Shirley Jackson, Stephen King, Toni Morrison, and Neil Gaiman, as well as ghost folklore and oral histories collected by the Federal Writers Project of the Works Progress Administration. Films will include The Univited (1944), The Haunting (1963), The Shining (1980), The Sixth Sense (1999), and American Horror Story (TV, 2012).

    S. Haenni.

    From the beginning of the twentieth century to the present moment, movies – and in particular Hollywood – have profoundly influenced the ways in which people see, think and talk about the world. Focusing mostly on Hollywood film, this course introduces the study of American cinema from multiple perspectives: as an economy and mode of production; as an art form that produces particular aesthetic styles; as a cultural institution that comments on contemporary issues and allows people to socialize. We will consider the rise of Hollywood in the age of mass production; the star system; the introduction of sound and the function of the soundtrack; Hollywood’s rivalry with television; censorship; the rise of independent film, etc. Weekly screenings introduce major American genres (e.g. science fiction, film noir, the musical) and directors (e.g. Hitchcock, Kubrick, Tarantino).

  
  • AMST 2765 - [Cinema and Migration]

    (crosslisted) PMA 2565 , VISST 2765  
    (CA-AS)      
    Fall. Next offered 2016-2017. 4 credits.

    S. Haenni.

    The invention of cinema in the late 19th century coincided with major waves of migration to and within the United States. Immigrants from Eastern Europe are often said to have “invented” Hollywood; those from Southern Europe were among its first and most eager consumers. By migrating north, many African Americans simultaneously “migrated to the movies.” This course will start by looking at this confluence between migration and cinema: How did European immigrants shape an emerging Hollywood? How did African American migrants negotiate the new medium? How did newly emerging issues of diversity manifest themselves in terms of representation, production, and reception of the filmic image? What in the end does that tell us about the American film industry, its hold on the nation, and its global dominance? Such questions will provide a grounding for the exploration of case studies, and different immigrant groups later in the 20th and 21st centuries.

    W. Gaskins.

    Who are ‘the poor’ in the United States? Who are the largest recipients of federal welfare and entitlement spending? Why is there an unprecedented simultaneous increase in wealth and poverty in the United States at this point in its history? What role does photography play in our understanding and misunderstanding of poverty in ‘the greatest country in the world?’ In this course we will explore the perceptions of poverty in the United States through three major American newspapers.

    In this course students will explore the myths and realities of ‘The American Dream’ through an analysis of photojournalistic coverage of poverty that appear in contemporary editions of The New York Times, The New York Daily News and The New York Post. Moreover, the course will consider key moments in the reportage of poverty in the United States through television, cinema, magazines, politics and popular culture. Through the collection of the Johnson Museum of Art, Cornell University Libraries and other primary sources of visual culture, the course will engage with the complexities and contradictions of poverty in the United States. The capstone of this course will be a public exhibition and discussion of the visual and editorial content of the newspapers, and the connections between editorial photography, public policy and opinion, and how their conclusions can possibly inform solutions to the issue of poverty in America.

    The idea of dissent in American society raises a variety of images. Civil rights activists, striking workers, and student radicals of the 1960s are familiar enough symbols of dissent. But might we understand a Pentecostal believer, filled with the spirit of his or her God in critiquing contemporary society, as an example of American dissent? This course explores the varieties of economic, political, and cultural dissent in American between 1880 and 1990, and examines how understanding dissent in its specific historical context illuminates major aspects of American life and culture.
