HIST 205H - 20TH CENTURY IN FILM

Credits: Four
Prerequisite: Membership in Bascom Honors Program
In recent decades historians have added to their inventory of sources, especially in the study of popular culture. Historians now use film and television as a means to understand and interpret the past. This course proposes to explore films for their ability to recreate, reflect or reveal, measure change, and make or influence U.S. and world history. The course will survey the history of film in the United States and the world, looking both at history through the lens of film and at film through the lens of history. Students will work closely with film sources from a variety of perspectives; through classroom viewing and discussion, special projects outside of class, readings, historical research, and writing assignments.
