It is the aim of this course is to look at various ways in which national and cultural identities in the British Isles have been constituted and re-defined in the 20th century. The medium of film (cinema history) provides an ideal textual basis for such a procedure. Between them the films selected for analysis cover the geographical (and cultural) unit known as the British Isles (i.e., England as well as the nations of the 'Celtic Fringe').
Films to be discussed include among others:
England: "Pride and Prejudice", "A Room With a View", "The Remains of the Day", "Shakespeare in Love", "The Queen", "My Son the Fanatic", "This Is England"; Scotland: "Ae Fond Kiss", "Braveheart", "Trainspotting"; Wales: "How Green Was My Valley", "Twin Town"; Ireland: "Man of Aran", "The Quiet Man", "Adam and Paul", "The Guard".
