HIST 248 Film and History

This class will offer an overview of the often-contentious relationship between film and history. We will ask to what extent films constitute historical evidence, reflect and influence ideological agendas, and offer distinct and persuasive interpretations of the past. Students should develop a mastery of visual literacy skills that will allow them to reflect critically upon films rather than passively "consuming" them.
