Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

It has been more than 50 years since Eric Hobsbawm described outlaws such as Billy the Kid, Ned Kelly and Robin Hood as social bandits who, although considered criminals by the state, were often regarded as heroes and fighters for justice within peasant society. Since that time mythologies around outlaw heroes have developed to form cultural scripts that are infused with issues of nationalism, class and gender. Students will analyse films such as Ned Kelly (2003), Robin Hood (2010) and Thelma & Louise (1991) among others to discover not only what commonalities recur but also how they appear in film.

This course will also cover key texts from anarchist and anti-authoritarian writers.

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

There will be bi-weekly presentations on the films and cultural texts as well as feedback reports for the other students. Students will write a paper at the end of the semester. Class discussion will be an important factor.
