GVPT388A

Topical Investigations; Film and the Study of Politics of Terror in the Family and the State

GVPT388A is an online course that looks at the dynamics of power, terrorand violence through the medium of film. We see films that highlight three levels of human relationships: the self, the group and the state. How does terror affect the self (for example the films Black Swan and Shutter Island); how does terror affect the group (for example, the films Hotel Rwanda and City of God); and how does terror affect the state (for example, the films District 9 and Munich). Students have six weeks to complete the course; but you can at your own pace, complete the course sooner.
