Questions this course answers

What does the Armitage party make visible?

The guests praise and measure Chris as though Blackness were a collection of desirable traits rather than a person's identity.

Put these developments in the order the film presents them.

The film moves from social unease, through hypnosis and evidence gathering, to the explanation of the family's body-transfer system.

Match each recurring element to its interpretive role.

The film's objects are part of its argument: repeated images connect private fear to a larger structure of racial possession and denial.
