SoSe 22: American Politics and Film

Thomas Greven

Information for students

Classes will be primarily held synchronously online, with occasional in-person teaching.

Comments

Politics and political issues are featured in many American film and TV productions. There are almost countless movies about US presidents, elections, political scandals etc. From a political science perspective, taking a closer look at how American politics is represented in movies and television is worthwhile because these media influence how citizens view political institutions, actors, and processes. While it is empirically difficult to pinpoint the exact impact of film and TV representations on political culture (values and attitudes) and political action (such as voting behavior), their analysis allows for important insights into debates and controversies on issues such as democratic participation, economic power, religion, racism and sexism etc. On the basis of individual, independent study of selected films and readings from political science and film studies, students will develop a solid understanding of the basic institutions, actors, and processes of American government and politics. close
