  • Cowboy Up: the American Cowboy in Fact and Fiction Syllabus
    FSEM 100 Cowboy Up: The American Cowboy in Fact and Fiction Syllabus Semester Spring 2011 Lecturer Dr. Ron Scheer Email [email protected] Section 34604 Office JEF 261 Phone 213-740-1980 Time Mon 2:00 Office hours TTh 2:00 Fax 213-740-4100 Classroom WPH 201 and by appointment Course description The western has been a genre of American movies and popular literature for over a century. The stories told in this genre reflect values that are embedded in American culture. They are typically about men of strong character who represent a certain kind of moral order, and the story being told is about how they confront and overcome villains, outlaws, and other “bad guys” who are enemies of that order. It can be a black-and-white world of good vs. evil, or it can be a world where there are many shades of gray, so that it’s less easy to tell the difference. This conflict is typically played out on the American frontier, in the late 19th century (1865-1900), during the decades after the American Civil War. It is the era of cowboys, the growth of the cattle industry, the fencing of the open range, the demise of the buffalo herds, the final displacement of the Native American tribes, the building of cross- continental railroads, and rapid settlement of the frontier territories fed by waves of immigration and the availability of free land made possible by the Homestead Acts. The conflict in a western typically involves and is eventually resolved by violence – fistfights, gunfire, sometimes even explosives.
