HIST 207OC - Cinema, Memory, and Politics in Egypt

FC SSCI CD WINT
4 credits
Arab cinema often narrates historical memories of a great civilization that went through glorious and hard times over long centuries. The oldest and most popular film industry in the Middle East, Egyptian cinema, adopts epic stories from the region’s ancient, biblical, Islamic, colonial, nationalist, or recent past through various ideological lenses and for different political aims. Watching a selection of Egyptian films (with English subtitles), this course examines how Arab movies constantly remember, construct, and display the region’s eventful past. Students enrolled in this course are eligible to participate in an International Winter Term course in Egypt in January 2023.
Prerequisites & Notes: This course is a part of StudiOC learning community, along with ARABIC 101, titled “Arab & Islamic Historical Memory: Cinema, Language, and Museums
