Регионални мир и безбедност кроз филм

Циљеви изучавања предмета

The aim of this course is to familiarize students with major debates in peace and security studies as well as key peace and security dynamics in major conflict-affected regions of the world through film. The course is divided into an intro and 11 weeks of lectures/discussions accompanied by two reading weeks and an exam. While the first week is devoted to a theoretical introduction on the use of cinema in researching peace and conflict, the rest of the course is covering eleven different regions of the world through one film. Each film is accompanied by a reading list that covers both the theoretical and empirical issues which will be discussed during the week. Lectures and seminars constitute the primary forms of teaching this course. While the lectures introduce the students to overall regional peace and security dynamics, seminars are devoted to discussing these issues through the film assigned for that week.
