The major purpose of the course consists of illustrating and analyzing the role of the audiovisual media film (fiction and documentary) and video (and television, to a certain degree) for an understanding of the socio-cultural and conceptual status that Latina/o identities have acquired in today's society. Thematically, the course will focus on themes of modernity vs. tradition in U.S. Latino culture. The course uses a selection of audiovisual materials which is fairly innovative in its variety.
