02162 Culture and Cultural Industries
This course departs from the assertion that culture is not 'natural' nor is it an 'add-on', instead it is a key ingredient in the production of humankind such that "without men, no culture, certainly; but equally, and more significantly without culture, no men" (Geertz, 1973: 49). Culture and its industries are then crucial sites of production and power. Throughout the course, students will use different theories, examples, and sites to examine how cultures are produced, studied, consumed, by whom, and to what effects. This course has three main goals: to provide students with an overview of some of the major theoretical approaches from several disciplines, including communication studies, political science, anthropology, and art; to identify convergences and divergences between these approaches so as to highlight what is gained and lost by using them; and finally, to provide students with the conceptual tools necessary to conduct their own cultural research.
