COR 390 EXAMINING IDENTITIES: HOLLYWOOD AND SPORT CULTURE
This course examines sport movies as a distinct category of film that communicates identities, cultural ideologies, values, and stereotypes. Selected films will be studied in terms of their social and historical context and how social class, race, gender, sexuality, and other identities are depicted.
