MLL-236 Nazi Cinema and Culture

GER: VP (Visual and Performing Arts)
Prerequisite: any first year writing seminar
Exploration of the history and the aesthetics of fascist cinema. During the years between the Nazis’ rise to power in 1933 and the end of World War II in 1945, cinema was part and parcel of the fascist state, leading some critics to speculate whether the “Third Reich” was perhaps “movie-made.” All readings and lectures will be in English; all films will be subtitled. Students may not receive credit for both GRM-466 and MLL-236. 4 credits.
