• ENGL 5820: Disability in Lit./Film

  3.00 Credits

  University of Utah

  
  Representations of disability ' of physical impairment, neurodiversity, chronic illness, and disfigurement ' pervade our literary and filmic texts. This course explores the meaning and effects of such representations, considering how and why narratives depend on disability, how disability images produce certain responses in readers and viewers, and how textual disability relates to the social and political marginalization of disabled people in the 'real' world. We will question concepts of normalcy, able-bodiedness, and cure, and we will explore the implications of the appropriation or simulation of disability by non-disabled authors and actors.

• ENGL 5845: African-American Film

  4.00 Credits

  University of Utah

  
  This course provides both a historical overview of the African-American cinematic tradition, as well as an exploration of how story-telling about African-American life has shaped and been shaped by film history writ large. We will learn about not only how film differs from other media, but also how the history of film in the United States is rife with what writer and critic Toni Morrison calls, 'the Africanist presence.' Students will learn the basic language of film analysis and composition while also thinking about how actors and filmmakers respond to and transcend the limitations of racism, sexism, classism, and homophobia. We will view and respond to films like: Oscar Micheaux's Within Our Gates; D.W. Griffith's The Birth of a Nation; Victor Fleming's Gone with the Wind; Stanley Kramer's The Defiant Ones; Denzel Washington's Fences; Amma Asante's Belle; Spike Lee's School Daze; Gina Prince-Bythewood's The Secret Life of Bees; and, Douglass Sirk's Imitation of Life.
