Abstract | Certain popular films contextualize the access, use, and interpretation of information within a political and social framework. As a result, these films function as alternative pedagogical sites for analysis and critique, facilitating critical thinking about information beyond the library and the classroom, and leading students to a deeper understanding of the fundamental need for information literacy. A conceptual basis for the consideration of film in politically engaged information literacy instruction is provided, supported by a discussion of three relevant films: Jason Reitman's "Thank You for Smoking" (2006), Joel and Ethan Coen's "Burn after Reading" (2008), and Oliver Stone's "W." (2008). (Contains 62 notes.) (As Provided). |
