Sociology 310 - Cultural Studies:A Sociological Perspective

Institution:

Bard College

Subject:

Description:

Cultural studies is an exciting new interdisciplinary area of study that offers great potential for confronting such important contemporary sociological issues as multiculturalism, nationalism, leisure, media/ideology, and sexuality. It meets the sociological perspective in its focus on the link between cultural representations, symbols and practices and the establishment, and critique and maintenance of relations of power and inequality. By confronting a wide range of topics-from postcolonialism to youth subcultures, from queer theory to rock 'n' roll, from thenew racism to the politics of mugging-this course introduces students to the distinctive theory and method of cultural studies.
