Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
In this lecture we will explore meanings of "Britishness" in relation to popular culture. Starting from a set of typical (and stereotypical) assumptions about what it is that seems to define "Britishness" - football and cricket, beer and tea, royals and working class, queuing and hooliganism, Britpop and punk etc. - we will approach the following questions: How is (and was) "Britishness" constructed and represented, especially in popular culture? How do people become national subjects? How does "Britishness" relate to class, gender, race, power, history and geography?
Assessment and permitted materials

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
