ENGL 339 - Post-Classical Hollywood Cinema

3 Credit(s) | Lecture |
Course can be counted for credit once

Description:
This course examines mainstream American cinema from the 1950s to the present, focusing on the major historical, cultural, industrial, aesthetic and technological transformations of Hollywood since the breakup of the studio system: the impact of television and the emergence of New Hollywood, the return of the Blockbuster, the rise of independent film, and the expansion of global film culture. This course encourages students to think about Hollywood as both a domestic and a global industry that develops in relation to national concerns (the Red Scare, youth culture, civil rights) as well as international issues (global trade, transnational media conglomerates, and cultural imperialism).
