 This course is designed to introduce students to the phenomenon of contemporary international migration through the lenses of cultural pluralism and accented cinema. The rise in global mobility, the growing complexity of migratory movements and their effects on families, communities and states has turned international migration into a relevant policy issue. Exactly, and how Michaela just said, we're going to focus on accented cinema. This is to say the filming self-representation of migrant identities. The idea is to see how the film depict migration, what kind of perspective of cultural diversity, migrant identity and accommodation policies do the films offer and how does this differ from the political discourse developed at state level.
