WiSe 16/17: Genealogies of a Genre: The Western in American Culture and Politics

Lars Lierow

Comments

This seminar will examine the permutations of the Western genre over time and across different media. We will study examples of Western narratives from film, literature, radio and television that help us understand to how the genre has promoted some of America's most enduring myths. Conversely, we also encounter examples that bend the genre's conventions to articulate political criticism and question those very same myths and seemingly stable ideologies. Genre theory will serve as a starting point to develop critical and historical analyses of Western stories and their relationship to questions of national identity, historical memory, ethnicity, and gender. close
