America and the world, 1945-2000: technology, conflict and the lives of others (Part 1)
The history of the post-war world has been powerfully shaped by the decisions and actions of American political and military leaders, and by the deployment of American defense technologies. This module considers the significance of humanitarian concerns within US national security discourse from the fire-bombing of Germany and Japan during the Second World War through to the start of the Vietnam War. It also examines the actual impacts of American war-making and war-fighting technologies upon the lives of others, including the population of Hiroshima, the victims of napalm in Korea, those exposed to radioactive fallout from US nuclear tests, and the inhabitants of strategic hamlets in Vietnam. -

American Cinema Since 1965
The module offers a history of American cinema since 1965, covering the decline of the Hollywood studio system and the moment, from 1968 to 1975, when a new wave of directors produced a number of key films sometimes known as constituting the Hollywood art-house period, through the rise of the blockbuster in the mid-1970s, to the reinvigorated New Hollywood of the 80s and 90s.
It explores whether this can be called the Hollywood post-classical period, the inter-relationship of studio and independent cinema, and historical issues such as changes in marketing and exhibition practices, and how the film industry survived the rise of television and exploited the rise of new home viewing technologies such as video, DVD, and laserdisc. -
