Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

Depictions of outlaws feature many common gender and cultural tropes. 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. The idea of the outsider can also be applied to figures that have challenged the norms of society from issues of gender to those of sexuality and class, forming cultural scripts that are often central to anglophone film. Students will analyse films such as Ned Kelly, Robin Hood, Thelma & Louise, Mad Max and Taxi Driver among others to discover not only what commonalities recur but also how they appear in film. We shall also consider some of the core theories of Anarchism and discuss their relevancy in society. This course offers an introduction to film analysis, cultural scripts and deviancy studies as well as the opportunity to develop research methods and essay writing.
