The aim of this course is to provide students with a deeper knowledge of the social situation of Roma in Hungary and to enable them to carry out a sociological analysis of films depicting social groups. During the course, students will explore sociological approaches and previous research, and then analyze different films featuring Roma characters. Students will choose a narrow theme to develop based on literature and film analysis. The course material will draw on relevant collections of the Archivum.
