LACS 30.08 Race, Class, Gender and Sexuality in Contemporary Brazilian Film
In this course film will be viewed as text and used to analyze discourses around race, sex, gender; and class in contemporary Brazil. It is the hope that film will offer students an additional cultural context to critically examine the development of nation and national ideologies such as "the myth of racial democracy." Class discussions based on scholarly readings and film screenings will focus on how Brazilians view themselves and the construction and function of social institutions within the contemporary nation
