Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
This course considers the various ways processes of globalisation are impacting upon contemporary cultural life, giving particular attention to shifts and developments in the field of popular culture. Through consideration of changes in an array of texts and practices - including film, TV, pop music and fashion - the course considers the way social roles and identities are being shaped and transformed by the global circulation of media and culture. Particular attention is given to the tension between globalisation's homogenizing and diversifying tendencies; and to the contribution of theoretical perspectives such as cultural imperialism, Americanisation, McDonaldization, and cultural hybridization.
