Description: |
This course explores the remarkably elastic—and durable—genre of the road movie. Across a range of periods in film history, and through a framework of transnational exchange and circulation, we will examine the ways this adaptable genre focuses questions of national and regional identity, racial, ethnic, gender class differences. We will pay special attention to the road movie’s existential and phenomenological preoccupations. |
