AMST 0259 - Re-Presenting Slavery
*Re-Presenting Slavery* In this course we will examine 20th century American portrayals of chattel slavery through creative works and situate them in their historical contexts. Working primarily with fiction (/Oxherding Tale/, /Kindred/, /The Underground Railroad/), film (/Mandingo/, /Django Unchained/, /Twelve Years a Slave/), television (/Roots/, /Africans in America/, /Underground/), and visual art (works by Jacob Lawrence, Romare Bearden, and Kara Walker), we will evaluate how those various representations of the “Peculiar Institution” have changed, and/or have been changed, by the cultural moments in which they appeared. /This course may also be counted as a general elective or REC elective for the ENAM major./ 3 hrs lect.
