Subject Description: | This subject offers an introduction to contemporary cultural studies by thinking about the relationships between various cultural forms, institutional sites and the practices of everyday life. It introduces students to notions of hegemony, ideology and culture in order to provide intellectual frameworks for the reading of diverse cultural forms and practices such as soap opera or sub-cultural identifications. It enables students to theorise many naturalised aspects of their own everyday lives in relation to the formations of identity and taste or the complex interdependence between ideological formations and consumer or spectator pleasures. | |
Assessment: | Written work of not more than 4000 words. Students may produce an audio-visual presentation in lieu of any one essay with permission of the subject coordinator. | |
