- The Missouri Breaks (Arthur Penn, 1976)
- Brokeback Mountain (Ang Lee, 2005)
- The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (Andrew Dominik, 2007)
- Appaloosa (Ed Harris, 2008)and perhaps
- Wyatt Earp (Lawrence Kasdan, 1994)
- Open Range (Kevin Costner, 2003)While we will discuss the filmic language(s) of these works, the main focus of the seminar will be on typical Cultural Studies questions, such as:
- how are the political and social realities of the (post-Civil War) Western territories depicted?
- how are "non-white" ethnic populations (esp. Native Americans and Mexicans) portrayed?
- how is masculinity (all that gunslinging!) constructed?
- how are the female characters presented?Methods: Multidisciplinary discussion of movies (and, in some cases, the literary texts they are based on) and presentations of students' papers in class.
