Representations of Mobility in American
Grade Method: REG/P-F/AUD Mobility and
travel are central to the meanings of
American culture and history. America
encompasses many narratives of mobility,
such as a melting pot of immigrants, a
classless society of upwardly mobile
individuals, the land of the frontier, and
the Wild West. The road serves as a
central symbol of these narratives and
their complex and contradictory meanings.
The class explores the complicated
representations of America found in the
road and the road movie. The American
Studies methods of material
culture/cultural landscape analysis, film
analysis, and critical thinking/writing
are used to explore the films and
readings. For more information contact
