This module is a great choice if you have an interest or maybe even a passion for film, and want to explore the ways in which cultural, economic, sociological, and political issues have been represented from the 1960s to the present day. You’ll watch specific films and then have a combination of lectures and workshops focused on each one to guide your learning.
The module pursues the ways in which cultural, economic, sociological, and political issues are represented; it examines the ways that cultural texts, in this case films, are both products of and contribute to discourses such as gender, sexuality, class, race and ethnicity, and nationhood. Films are rigorously situated in the context of their production, facilitating detailed learning about the politics, culture, and society of Britain since the 1960s.
By the end of the module, you should be able to analyse and compare films confidently and articulately, drawing on what you have learnt about the film’s context of production and reception. While you may not be accustomed to thinking about films in an academic setting, the module will equip you with a new vocabulary and help you to build the necessary skills.
