Professor Erika A. Kiss

Meets Tuesdays and Thursdays 11:00 AM – 12:20 PM

 

In this course we will survey some of the most important films of the last two decades that managed to gain international recognition, despite holding on to their cultural, linguistic and artistic particularities. We will compare these to later films by the same filmmakers made in English with international stars. What does it mean for the art of these acknowledged filmmakers (Abbas Kiarostami, Michael Haneke, Emir Kusturica, Thomas Vinterberg, and Lars von Trier) to give up the native language, actors and locations with which they started making films for the language and stars of Hollywood?

 

Professor Patricia Fernandez-Kelly

Meets Tuesdays and Thursdays 10:00 AM – 10:50 AM

 

Immigrants often experience discrimination in areas of destination. Religion can strengthen their sense of worth, particularly when the circumstances surrounding departure from the country of origin are traumatic, as with exiles and refugees. We take a comparative approach and use examples from the United States, Asia, Europe, and Latin America. The course broaches questions such as: how does religion transform (and how is it transformed by) the immigrant experience? When is religion used to combat stereotypes? Are there differences between the way men and women or dominant groups and racial minorities understand religion?
