ANT 311 - Analyzing Hybrid Los Angeles

Institution:

Antioch University-Los Angeles

Subject:

Description:

This class approaches Los Angeles as a robust breeding ground for hybrid cultural practices such as trans-genre music, gastronomic fusion, mediated dating, rejuvenating procedures, architectural and landscaping accents, trans-gender possibilities and migrant, border identities. This course understands hybridization as a cultural process in which diverse beliefs and preferences merge into new, often unexpected and ambiguous practices derived from concrete historical, political and aesthetic contexts. Through field trips, readings, discussions and specific examples from the arts, media and popular culture, students learn to identify and analyze how hybrids evolve from cultural sources, what role they play in mainstream Angeleno culture, and which dilemmas and opportunities they pose.
