About this course
This course examines media representations of Asian Pacific Islander Americans (APIAs) through time. It will explore stereotyped media depictions of Asian Pacific Islander Americans, including Yellow Peril and the model minority. Students will analyze how race as a social construction of difference affects and is reproduced by mass media. Additionally, students will compare how gender, sexuality, class, citizenship, and identity are encoded across history. The course will also explore APIA media outside of and in resistance to mainstream American media, including independent cinema that arose from the Asian American movement from the late 60s onwards, digital Internet media production of the 21st century, and transnational media of diasporic APIA communities.
