- Inhalt
- The Media Session is designed as an extension of those classes of the American Studies Section that work with movies. However, we encourage all students to attend the movie sessions, because we show American classics as well as classics inspired by America.
This semester we will focus on the representation of beauty standards in movies from the US and Canada, as well as movies about the US and Canada. The program will include examples from the early times of cinema, as well as more conventional Hollywood blockbusters. We will therefore explore the often stereotypical but sometimes subversive cinematic portrayal of “that quality of a person (esp. a woman) which is highly pleasing to the sight; perceived physical perfection; attractive harmony of features, figure, or complexion; exceptional grace, elegance, or charm in appearance” (OED online).
Please send an email to the instructor if you are interested in the program!
