SCA-UA 240 - Marxist Cultural Theory

Institution:

New York University

Subject:

Description:

Familiarizes students with key concepts in Marxist cultural theory so that they might (1) begin to appreciate how extensively Marxist thought informs contemporary scholarly criticism and (2) start to use elements of that thought in their own analytical work. We study founding texts in the Marxist critical tradition; review Marxist-oriented analyses of literary, musical, and visual productions; and, finally, consider recent work on the import of culture as lived experience. Students should ultimately emerge not only with enhanced critical skills, but also with a deepened understanding of the significance of culture, broadly conceived.
