Description

Detroit has served as a representative of a wide variety of ideals and anxieties over the course of the 20th and 21st centuries. From the Motor City to the Arsenal of Democracy to Motown to postindustrial ruin to a new urbanist utopia, Detroit has functioned as a repository of a variety of hopes and dreams. This course will consider these various ideas and imaginaries of Detroit through an investigation of the way that the city has been represented in film and other visual media. We will consider films by directors such as David Robert Mitchell, Paul Verhoeven, Sofia Coppola, Curtis Hanson, Steven Soderbergh, Jim Jarmusch, and others. In addition to filmic representations of Detroit, we will also consider how the city has been portrayed in television, music videos, photography, painting, and art installations.

Course Requirements:

Students will be assessed based on attendance, in-class assignments, critical essays, participation, a research project, a midterm, and a final exam.

Intended Audience:

Undergraduates interested in visual media representations of Detroit, the representation of city spaces, and the spatial politics of Detroit.

Class Format:

The course meets twice weekly for lectures with an additional lab for viewing movies.
