Global South Cinemas: 1960s to the Present
This course focusing on “world cinema” from Latin America, Africa, and South Asia, includes an array of cinematic forms—films and other moving-image media, cultural artifacts, viewing practices, even theories themselves— that took shape amongst and between these areas. Combining viewings and readings, archival research and theoretical translations, we will explore the vibrant forms and circulation of cinema outside its imperial nodes. The course focuses on three historical moments in South Asia, Latin America, and Africa: the “global sixties” and its revolutionary ambitions; the politics of domestic spaces in the 1980s and early 1990s; and contemporary negotiations of gender, sexuality, and migration.
