The emphasis of this class is using non-textual materials as the basis of the study of history. Media include film, recordings, photography and computer resources as means of gathering information of other times, events, and people. Topics of study may vary with current media availability. Not only will the media be reviewed, but also critiqued and researched to study creditability, historical accuracy, and historical perspectives (examples of topics and media might be Amistad or Elizabeth as films, song lyrics of the 60’s as recording, World War 2 propaganda films for historical accuracy, or comparing remakes of the same film from different years as historical perspective). Textual materials will be used as well.
