Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
Film noir offers a rich canvas for analysis and deconstruction of constructed Western gender identities. When it comes to sexuality and gender, an uncanny sense of paranoia and anxiety lies at the core of Film Noir.Deconstructing the gender politics it prescribes for its archetypes: the femme fatale, the cynical detective, the villain and the unwilling hero/antihero is as fascinating as it is timeless for understanding the stylized repetitions that make up gender identities.
