Description

This course introduces students to the key concepts that underpin the field of cultural studies. The course includes readings in theory and criticism and the study of cultural forms and practices, such as written texts, film, television, visual and performance art, music, print and electronic media, as well as the institutions that shape them. Since cultural studies is overwhelmingly interdisciplinary, the course also offers instruction in research methods, interpretive strategies, and writing. Issues covered may include subcultures, urbanism, nationalism, ethnicity, postcolonialism, globalization, sexuality, and gender.
