Description

This course introduces to key concepts in cultural studies. There is an elementary look at ‘classic’ texts in cultural studies –Kant, Marx, Freud– and then there is a move to the establishment of cultural studies as a discipline, looking at texts from the Frankfurt School, the Birmingham School, Raymond Williams, Clifford Geertz and others. The rest of the course charts the areas modern Cultural Studies cover, looking at topics such as (new) media, consumption cultures, cyborgs, post-modernism, gender studies, etc.
