Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Orientalism and Ocidentalism - these twin terms build the starting point for our course. Both terms were constructed to analyze specific discourses. The usability and possible limitedness of both terms will be questioned in the discussion of chosen films. We understand films as part of a broader massmedial discours, that we want to analyze. We will look at both US-films and films from the middle east.

Presentations resp. editing an online reader or be part of a so-called controll group. At the end students must deliever a paper

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Knowledge about the history of representing arabs in western film and the west in films from the middle east. Backgroundinformation about the political development within the middle and near east as well as in the USA-foreign policy.

Lecture, presentations, discussions, group work within the course, watching films
