Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

Representations of the outlaw and anti-authority warrior are laden with common gender and cultural tropes. Anti-establishment figures, what Eric Hobsbawm dubbed social bandits, are considered criminals by the state, but often regarded as heroes and fighters for justice within parts of society. What role do these figures play in cultural media? 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. Students will gain an introduction to film analysis, cultural scripts and deviancy studies as well as the opportunity to develop research methods and essay writing.

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

There will be bi-weekly presentations 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.
