HIS 1111 - The End of Cold War Culture

Credits: 4
The Cold War was perhaps the most defining aspect of American culture for half a century, casting a shadow over politics, popular culture, and academics. Films, in particular, were at the center of the battle for the hearts and minds of the American public. The presence of the Cold War in popular culture is undeniable, but once the Cold War ended what effect did that have? This course will examine the questions: Did the end of the Cold War change our popular culture? Did it change how we perceive ourselves? How can popular films help us better understand the meaning of the Cold War and its end?
