All answers and comments are anonymous, reported back to the faculty and administrators as data from all students in the class. Comments are reported back as text without names attached. Your evaluations are an important contribution in the development of the highest quality learning experiences possible at Millikin University.

CO306-01 (CRN: 20020) or IN250-03 (CRN: 20021) Hollywood Cinema: The Great Movies (In-person) Instructor: Sam Meister American studio cinema produced between the middle decades of the 20th century to the early years of the 21st century helped shape our evolving cultural identity as a nation, contributing to the beliefs, norms, and ideals of “The American Century.” The film industry actively attempted to reflect and provide recreation to a United States that was thrust into the status of the world’s greatest economic force, political superpower, and military might. Throughout the course, students are expected to actively engage in both absorbing and dissecting these texts through viewing, critical analysis, and peer discussion. Films, both fiction and non-fiction, are historical texts that inevitably display elements of the society in which they were created and initially viewed. As such, movies have the power to reveal, create, and critique social norms.

Noir has left a permanent mark on American film and fiction. This course will examine what those traits are and the literary parallels of style and character in other fiction of the day. We will read, among others, Raymond Chandler, Dashiell Hammett, Ernest Hemingway, and James Cain.

injustices enacted on black men. Recognizing narrative’s capacity for bearing witness, and, in doing so, forging emotional connections between reader and character, we will look at how writers use devices of structure, voice, and perspective to convey trauma in ways that enable the reader to also bear witness, along with them. We will delve into the dynamics of narrative voice in authors such as Angie Thomas (The Hate U Give). We will resurrect James Baldwin’s If Beale Street Could Talk in order to study the way he constructs the black female protagonist’s voice of witness. In the work of writers who attempt a "communal voice"—including the breathtaking fiction of Toni Morrison (Beloved) and the heartbreaking nonfiction of Jesmyn Ward (Men We Reaped)—we will discover innovative strategies that challenge the conventions of Western narrative. In their struggle to come to terms with their own and others’ experiences of injustice, these authors deconstruct socially constructed concepts like masculinity, race, and gender, and, in doing so, create new space(s) in their communities for healing, forgiveness, compassion, and new growth.

However, quite often such diversity has been treated as an obstacle to remove rather than a strength to develop. This course offers an opportunity to explore the concepts of global citizenship from the theoretical, cultural, and political perspectives. This course, therefore, focuses on helping students recognize the value of diversity in the United States and assist in developing important cross-cultural understanding. At the heart of the course will be an interdisciplinary exploration of Korean popular music, which is mostly known as K-pop through readings and discussion of film, social theory, and social scientific research. Investigating and locating K-pop within the continuously shifting global popular culture will be a trendy guide for students to enhance awareness of global citizenship.
