(AMER30461) Film and Politics in America
Content
This course will examine representations of politics, politicians and political institutions through the eyes of a number of filmmakers and over the course of Hollywood's cinematic history. The aim is to incorporate film theory, history and genre studies into an appreciation of specific themes and periods in American history and political culture cognizant with Hollywood productions from those and other eras. For example, the course will look at political films in the 1930s, the 1970s, and the 2000s as a historical evaluation of the way art and culture can inform and elucidate upon political issues of the times. But, in addition, the course also aims to elevate critical sub-genres in the field with historical and theoretical readings of offshoots to political movies such as election films, action, conspiracy and political thrillers, as well as political biographies; all treated as discrete entities reflective of Hollywood’s productive capacity specifically, and resonant within American political history more generally. The course aims to reflect on the way democratic theories and ideas have been perpetuated through such films as well as their contribution to an aesthetic, iconic set of values replicated upon the actual American political landscape through their devotion to buildings, places and monuments. The final section of the course will elaborate on the developments and renewed interest in political movies in what is now termed the “post 9/11” era, reflecting on the state of America’s polity at home and abroad and incorporating documentary and TV productions as well as mainstream feature films into the analysis.
The course has a selection of textbooks available as the first point of reading around the subject. These include:

Conspiracy Theories in American Culture
Dr Peter Knight
Summer Reading
The main reading for this course will be articles available on Blackboard in September. I have listed below (in order of importance) books that it would be good to read over the summer. All of these are available from the Library, and it might be worth buying some of them (marked with *). The other thing I would recommend is surfing the web to get a flavour of the vast conspiracy subculture out there.
* Kathryn Olmsted, Real Enemies: Conspiracy Theories and American Democracy, World War I to 9/11
(easy to read, and very useful for historical background; available in paperback)
* Mark Fenster, Conspiracy Theories
(quite difficult in style, but offers good coverage of a wide range of contemporary conspiracy thinking; available in paperback: make sure you get the 2008 second edition which is much easier than the first)
*Peter Knight, Conspiracy Culture: From the Kennedy Assassination to “The X-Files”
(covers a fairly wide range of films, novels and popular culture, useful on the theoretical approaches and some areas not covered by other writers, e.g. body panic and feminism; available in paperback)
Jovan Byford, Conspiracy Theories: A Critical Introduction
(very useful short book, but unfortunately only available in an expensive hardback)
Jonathan Kay, Among the Truthers: A Journey Through America’s Growing Conspiracist Underground
(entertaining and surprisingly thoughtful journalistic account of contemporary US conspiracism)
Jesse Walker, United States of Paranoia: A Conspiracy Theory
(wide-ranging non-academic book)
“We the Paranoid,” http://www.american.edu/cas/wtp
(this web book by American academic Peter Starr is very well put together, a good mixture of theoretical analysis and discussion of case studies; also has the advantage of being free)
* James McConnachie and Robin Tudge, The Rough Guide to Conspiracy Theories
(for a general overview of the main theories)
* Lindsay Porter, Who Are the Illuminati?
(very engaging overview of the long afterlife of conspiratorial fantasies about the Illuminati)
Jon Ronson, Them: Adventures with Extremists
(humorous yet thoughtful account of this British journalist’s attempts to understand fringe conspiracy theorists by hanging out with them)
Robert Alan Goldberg, Enemies Within
(the most useful general overview of conspiracy theories in America with a wealth of research and examples; sadly not available in paperback)
And the two novels we will be reading on the course – read them over the summer!
Thomas Pynchon, The Crying of Lot 49 (1966); Don DeLillo, Libra (1985)

I suggest you read Invisible Man before the course starts at it's quite lengthy.
You are encouraged to read round as much as possible (see suggested reading). It is important that you keep up with the reading as the material will become more difficult as the semester progresses. Don't worry if some texts/ critical reading seems hard at first but you will get a better grasp of the theory if you read more than the minimum requirement. Remember to supplement your reading with journals. You will find African American Review and Callaloo (the two premier journals in the field) available via JSTOR.
