Course description:
This class examines the relationship of culture and cultural practices
to the context of globalization in the late 20th and early 21st
centuries. It begins by examining the traditional theoretical
frameworks through which the relations between nations and cultures
have been understood colonialism, nationalism, and imperialism
and explores the theories that have attempted to rework
these frameworks, from models of postindustrial economic contexts
to postcolonialism and travelling theories. We will examine the
contemporary literature of global cultural studies, and scholarship
on the changing context of culture within global capitalism
the movement of cultural products across national and cultural
boundaries, the multinational structures of cultural production,
the black market for cultural products, the production of media
and cultural products in disaporic contexts, and the role of the
Internet and new media in the increased global traffic of culture.
This course thus explores the cultural, political, and economic
contexts in which cultural products cross national boundaries
and create meaning across and through cultures, to constitute
a global culture.
This class will be organized as a group project to produce a comprehensive annotated bibliography of the literature on globalization as it relates to cultural studies and culture in general. Part of our collective project will be to define the following terms: globalization, global culture, nationalism, colonialism, imperialism, cultural imperialism, postcolonialism, diaspora, hybridity, border culture, cosmopolitanism, global capitalism, empire, transnationalism, etc.
Course requirements:
This class will be organized primarily as a reading class. Each
week, we will read several texts as a group, and individuals will
be assigned to read addition texts and bring/present summaries
of them to the class. In addition, a few people each week will
be asked to bring questions for discussion. This means that everyone
will be assigned to do reading analyses/summaries every other
week. We will thus collectively produce an extended annotated
bibliography of this literature, which the class can share and
post on a web site. Grades will consider class presentation/participation
20%, weekly class writings 80%.
