HIST 1117.101: Hiroshima Past and Present: Nuclear Anxiety and Collective Memory (Fall 2009)  Tags: history image_searching film  

Welcome to the Cornell University Library

"Situated at the crossroads between history and cultural studies, this interdisciplinary course on Hiroshima in history and memory takes up a few of the following issues: How do images shape collective identity? What are the limits of textual and visual representation as groups seek to come to terms with traumatic pasts? Primarily through an engagement with films, but also through such media as photography and manga, students will have the opportunity to gain insight into critical reading practices of both texts and images. Films include Resnais’s Hiroshima mon amour, Kurosawa's I Live in Fear, and Takahata’s Grave of the Fireflies."
