230159 Postwestern Cinema (S) (SoSe 2026)
Contents, comment
-
The concept of the frontier has always had a special place in the US-American narrative, both in its literary and cinematic depiction. Since media emerges as a strong space of (re)negotiation of identity, this seminar engages with recent representations of the frontier in contemporary US-American Western films. Taking an interdisciplinary perspective, we will thus navigate, examine, and challenge old and new constructs, interpretations, and limitations of the Western genre with a focus on detailed film analysis.
