Description:

Since the early 1990s, globalization--a multi-faceted and highly contested concept--has become the new buzz word used to name, frame, and also direct the processes of social and technological change that have been taking place all over the world. By the same token, and since then, issues of globalization have been a central preoccupation of intellectual debates and political discourses and practices. This course aims to introduce students to the hotly debated and highly contested conceptual and social phenomenon of globalization, its histories, manifestations, implications, as well as its consequences for the individual and society. 3 CREDIT S PREREQUISITES: 46-1100 INTRODUCTION TO CULTURAL STUDIES OR 51-1101 WESTERN HUMANITIES
