Subject Description

This subject offers a critical review of 'cultural politics'. We begin by considering some of the major twentieth-century options available for theorising cultural politics. Students will produce specific studies of the political dimensions of cultural practices in order to re-think perceived notions of effect, consciousness, subjectivity, ideology and representation. Our aim is to appreciate and explore the inter-relationships and dynamics of cultural practices, cultural politics and power.
