This course will examine critical perspectives on two interrelated topics – the common forms through which the Middle East is most often perceived in the US, and film, media, and cultural expression from the region. We will encounter key critical terms, such as spectatorship, Orientalism, and decolonization, and utilize them in apprehending a range of phenomena.
