In this course, we will focus on how films craft images and concepts of social justice. To do this we will analyze movies and other stories about crime and the legal system, and how these depictions of justice relate to gender, ethnicity, race, sexuality, and social class. We will also contrast relevant empirical literature with the images and narratives of justice portrayed in the films.

Prerequisite: 50:350:102. This course satisfies the English Department's "Cross-Cultural Perspectives" requirement and the college's Global requirement. A Coke bottle sent to earth by the gods... a vigilante cop on a killing spree... vampires in the service of racial purity.

In this course we will watch, discuss, and write about films from a range of genres that represent South African history (during the era of apartheid and after), some of them directed by South Africans. No previous knowledge is required.

By the end, you will know these two magnificent novels very well, and will also get a crash course in the issues of screenplay adaptation. Lastly, we'll focus on the complexities of "period" pieces: how much of the truth of the era do we care to keep? Note, you will be required to read the two novels before we return on January 2. Syllabus can be downloaded here.

Email: profyoung@verizon.net
Many think philosophy is mysterious, obscure, and disconnected from the real world. But philosophy is reflection about what is important in life. So it is no more or less mysterious than life itself and only seems obscure because it is hard to focus on what is closest to us. This is why it sometimes helps to focus on philosophical ideas like skepticism, relativism, personal identity, determinism, and the problem of evil when we see them in popular film. Films offer perspectives on how life is experienced and on how it might be experienced differently. As such, they can be seen as reflections on the importance of the ideas they represent. In virtue of their popularity, they are one of the primary means through which our society engages these ideas. Our class will be dedicated to philosophical reflection on these representations.
