HIST 20900 - Europe Since 1945: Film and History

Course Credit: 1
(FILM, GERS, GLIS)
EUROPE SINCE 1945: FILM AND HISTORY This course examines politics, society and culture in Europe from the immediate aftermath of the devastation of the Second World War to the present. Topics include: the reconstruction of Europe, the Cold War, the dilemma of Americanization, the expansion of the social welfare state, decolonization and immigration, student protest, the radical right, (the challenges of) European integration, and more. A large part of our studies will be devoted to a consideration of how the larger political and social struggles of Europe have been refracted and interpreted in the art of cinema. [C, HSS]
