Women's Studies 249 This course begins with the premise
that there is a distinctly American style of Asian “Orientalist” representation by tracing its development in
Hollywood film over the last eighty-five years. We examine the politics of interracial romance, the phenomenon
of “yellow face,” the relationship between literature and film, and the different constructions of Asian American
femininity, masculinity, and sexuality. We also look at contemporary trends in Asian American and trans-global
Asian/American cinema where our focus is on both documentary, short feature, experimental films and videos that
deal centrally with the politics of race, class, and gender representation in American history and culture. |
