TALES OF TINSELTOWN
This course examines representations of Hollywood in film, television, and print. From Day of the Locust (1939) to Tropic Thunder (2008), we explore Hollywood as a model for what constitutes the "real" in contemporary culture, and how these representations inform the American political landscape and constructions of sexuality, desire, and identity.
