SOSC 7334 - Bollywood/Hollywood: Cinema in India and the West
Credits: 3
Examines both the construction of national identity through Indian cinema and Western depictions of India in American/European cinema. These films provide a comparative structure for understanding imaginings of India in Hollywood and Bollywood. Bollywood/Hollywood is divided into two parts. Part I focuses on Indian films and their role in imagining an Indian nation. Part II, Exoticizing the East, focuses on Western depictions of India. Adopts a historical perspective beginning with some of the earliest talkie films in the 1930s and ending with contemporary cinema. May be applied to the following curricular concentrations: humanities; global studies (non-Western); gender studies; arts and cultural traditions; communication, media and technology.
