Portuguese, Brazilian, and African Identity in Film
MWF 11:15AM – 12:05PM, Dr. Nilzimar Vieira Hauskrecht
The course describes, analyzes, and compares questions of race, intersectionality, gender, and national Identity in films from Angola, Brazil, Cabo Verde, GuinĂ©-Bissau, Mozambique, and Portugal. We will explore Identity through the movies from diverse theoretical and analytical perspectives. We will also consider the films’ content in the context of human differences within the national and cultural communities of origin. We will understand how the Lusophone countries’ cinema relates to their creation’s historical circumstances.
The course is taught in English. All the films will have English subtitles.
