19163AAS 100Intro to African Amer Stds LECTuesdays/Thursdays 11:00 AM - 12:20 PM Knox 14 North CampusDr. Pressley-Sanon

This interdisciplinary course will explore Africa and its diaspora from a number of perspectives. Students will learn aboutthe struggles and triumphs of the continent and its diaspora through several lenses including but not limited to the hu-man, the spiritual, and the ecological. We will begin with Haiti, long considered the most “African” of the Caribbeannations and end with President Barack Obama. Our approach will be multi-disciplinary. Therefore, we will engage histo-ry, fiction, and film as well as visual and performance arts. We will read such diverse texts as Distant View of a Minaret andOther Stories by Alifa Rifaat, Stigmata by Phyllis Alecia Perry and “An Unthinkable History” by Michel-Rolph Trouillot,screen films: Quilombo and When the Levees Broke, and explore the musical genius of artists like Fela Anikulapo Kuti andBob Marley. Students will come away from the course with a broad understanding about the centrality of Africa in worldhistory and in the contemporary world. Through their reflections on, writings about and discussions of the course mate-rial in relation to their own experience students will gain a greater appreciation for the interconnectedness of the humanexperience.

22907AAS 117Hip Hop and Social Issues SEMTuesdays 7:00 PM - 9:40 PM Knox 04 North CampusDr. Bhardwaj

Hip Hop is now a global force, and in this course we will study the key processes that have enabled it to rise to suchprominence. Starting with the history of hip hop in its varied forms, students will use an interdisciplinary approach toanalyze the social, political and economic issues addressed by hip hop culture (particularly rap music). Socio-culturalperspectives of African people throughout the diaspora, Latinos and whites regarding hip hop will be of special focus.At the same time, the course will analyze the effects of corporate America on what KRS One called “the voice of blackpeople” and students will examine the images and ideas presented by an industry that is driven by profit, not the em-powerment of oppressed people. Prominent artists that will be studied include KRS One, Rakim, Nas, Biggie, Tupac,Public Enemy, Mos Def, Ice Cube, Run DMC , and so on.

What is work? How much is it valued? Who today is and who used to be considered ‘working class’?In this class, we will explore how race, gender, and class combine to shape people’s experiences of ‘work.’ We will investigate the histo-ry of work—who has worked, for whom, and under what circumstances, and how gender and race have played a major role in theway people have valued work, labeled it as ‘illegal,’ ‘domestic,’ or ‘natural.’ This will also lead us to reflect on the intersectional locationof people in the United States today, with a special focus on the ‘working poor’ and their representation in contemporary literature andpopular culture, including film, television, and music. We will inquire into the reasons for the increasing feminization of poverty—whywomen have become the majority of the working poor—and the question of sexuality in an attempt to see larger structures of dis-crimination and oppression based on ideas of ‘normality’ and ‘citizenship’ within institutional structures and global economic systems,with a special focus on the transnational workings of capitalism.

22905AAS 199 (Same as AMS 112)Ethnicity & Urban Society SEMMondays/Wednesdays 3:30 PM - 4:50 PM Alumni 88 North CampusDr.

The U.S. is among those few countries in the world who from the very beginning of their urban development have given rise, becauseof colonization and immigration, to cities that are multi-racial and multi-ethnic. In this course, our purpose is to explore the characterof the modern U.S. city from the perspectives of race and ethnicity (against the backdrop of class). Our

focus will be on such matters as employment; education; crime and policing; immigration; housing and residential segregation; urbansprawl; the uses of public space; transportation; city politics and governance; disasters and emergencies; etc.; as they affect the qualityof life of the dominant racial/ethnic groups that make up the city today. Our concern in this course will be to not only get a sense ofthe empirical reality—in terms of race and ethnicity—that confronts U.S. cities today, but to also identify, from an interdisciplinary perspec-tive, key relevant concepts and theoretical insights that can assist us with explaining this reality. The principal theme holding the course


together will be that the city in the U.S. can act as a vehicle for enhancing the development of a democratic society (democracy to beunderstood here in both its procedural and authentic senses), but it can also serve to undermine it!

This course seeks to display and explore how the current expansion of the world market is overturning the seclusion of women intraditional societies, and looks at the consequences of globalization on the lives of women throughout the world. Women in develop-ing countries share common patterns of location and differentiation within the international division of labor. It focuses on howwomen are struggling to represent their identities amidst the rapid changes in their societies. It also examines why more and morewomen are becoming active in the international human rights movement. Further, it will discuss in detail how women are attemptingto shape the present discourse of development in different regions of the world economy. Intended to develop a multidisciplinaryapproach to gender and more specifically, to understand how gender is constructed by political, economic, and cultural discourses inindustrialized and industrializing societies, to understand the differences between the lived experiences of women in these societies, theheterogeneous nature of women voices across shifting lines of intersecting identities based on class, race, religion, sexuality, ethnicity,language, religion and nationality, and how women's lives are changing in the context of the ongoing crisis in our present global econ-omy. Topics will include unpacking the category of "women's work," changes in women's roles with increased global integration, in-ternational migration by women, women's experience of and participation in conflict, and diverse perspectives on the topics of family,health, government, and other institutions. The intended end is to gain understanding of both the commonalities in the experiencesof many women around the world as well as the enormous diversity present in their experiences and understandings of those experi-ences.

23816AAS 235 (Same as GGS 228)Top: Afr-Amer Studies-Intro to Feminist Theory SEMMondays/Wednesdays/Fridays 10:00 AM - 10:50 AM Norton 210 North CampusDr. Varnado

This course is meant to introduce students to the complex and varied theories present in the history of feminist thought.Throughout the semester, we will focus on becoming familiar with the major theorists and central arguments of many


schools of feminist thought including the three traditional 'Waves' as well as Marxist and Socialist feminism, radical fem-inism, Black feminist thought, Third World feminism, cultural feminism, queer theory, ecofeminism and psychoanalyt-ic/structuralist feminism. By gaining command of these concepts, students should be able to better understand the on-going, complex conversations that constitute what we call 'feminist theory.' Therefore, we will attempt not only to en-gage with the texts themselves, but also to discuss the implications of such theories across a variety of academic disci-plines and various forms of feminist activism. Feminist theory requires us to become comfortable discussing topics wemay have been taught to avoid, to question the status quo of various aspects of 'society' and to have the ability to critical-ly engage what we may have previously considered to be absolute knowledge or fact. By committing yourself to thisclass, you are agreeing to be respectful of others' opinions and beliefs. You are (hopefully) also committing to an attemptto engage with some of your own opinions and beliefs in ways you might not have previously considered.

Explores the roles, functions, practices, and consciousness of women cross-culturally based in various U.S. communities. Focuses onthe socio-cultural history of women's movements, issues and multiple oppressions. By understanding and examining race, class, gen-der, sexuality and nationality, students will learn how to think, read, and write in a critical and creative framework. Students will discoverthe importance of "re-claiming and education."

23963AAS 239 (Same as AMS 207)Special Topics-U.S. in the World LECMondays/Wednesdays/Fridays 9:00 AM - 9:50 AM Baldy 115 North CampusAgarwal, K

How can we think about the United States in a global context beyond geographical and national borders? In this course,we will attempt to do so in two ways: we will think about the United States in relation to the world and about the UnitedStates’ impact on the world. While the former will allow us to conceptualize the culture and history of the United Statesin transnational terms, the latter will force us to analyze the influence wielded by the United States in the global commu-nity. In thinking about how the United States operates in the world, we will critically examine the linkages between in-ternational migration, globalization, American imperialism, and mass culture. Throughout the course, we will also ques-tion ideas of American exceptionalism, of the United States as a self-contained, isolated nation, and of the salience of fram-ing history in nation-based narratives. We will ask how the study of global events and forces, and of past US encounterswith other nations, peoples and movements, can help us understand our present and imagine a better future.

12608AAS 254Blacks in Films 2 LECTuesdays 5:00 PM - 7:40 PM Baldy 101 North CampusPappas, J G

Course theme: The independent film:A social, political and cultural discourse on the history of the African American cinematic experience in film. This coursewill deal with the evolution of cinema in African American culture. We will trace its historical roots from the early slaveexperience to the popular images in the African American experience today. When examining the nature of the Blackexpression, we want to ascertain the issues associated with viewing these images so that we can gain a better insight intothe relevance of these images as it relates to the world of reality. These films articulate the struggles of the Black internalsocial frame work under the pressures of racism whereas in a climate of hate, prejudice and discrimination, a rich and


ingenious response to these conditions was crafted. Black Independent film makers offer a historical analysis of theBlack experience that differs from the Hollywood variety commonly seen at your local movie theaters. The tradition ofmaking movies goes back to the early 1900’s during a time when popular stereotypes were beginning to emerge on thescreen. To address this problem, African American practitioners developed a visual style and content to establish a wayfor the African American image to be seen from a different perspective. Often times these film makers were the onlyoutlet for seeing the Black experience in a rational context. As we examine a selected number of films, we will be mind-ful of the important contribution these image makers have made to the history and development of the motion pictureindustry. This course will pay tribute to several unknown African American film makers who forged the way for the con-temporary cinematic experiences of today. Some questions to be asked are; what is a “black” film and to what extent arethese images articulating the desires of the targeted populace? Do these films offer an alternative to the stereotypes andnegative portrayals imposed on the public mind? We will juxtapose the old with the contemporary to raise more ques-tions about the Black experience in film.

Black Presence in Latin America is a multi-disciplinary course which examines the Afro-Latin and Latino experiences inLatin America, the Caribbean and the United States. This course draws on theories from History, Psychology, and Soci-ology . Its primary purpose is to understand the Afro-Latino experience, but especially how the legacy of colonialism hasshaped current conditions and experiences in modern multiracial societies. How does this legacy continue to affect LatinAmerican and Caribbean society today? How does globalization affect constructs of race? To examine many of the con-cerns raised in this course, we will explore the writings and philosophies of Franz Fanon and examine the unique con-struction of race in the Dominican Republic as well as other countries. Course material will also use film and documen-tary where appropriate. All films will be screened during course time. The literature and lectures will focus on contempo-rary and traditional theories such as Revisionism and post revisionism to examine social and cultural change. The coursewill provide a basic integrated approach and framework for students to understand their individual experiences in heter-ogeneous societies, and provide several models for original qualitative research if students are interested in pursuing theirown research for the final paper. (Original research, however, is not required.)

13229AAS 355 (Same as AMS 387)Race, Class & Society SEMMondays/Wednesdays 2:00 PM - 3:20 PM Clemens 04 North CampusDr.

The United States is truly one of the most pluralistic countries in the world today. In addition to the obvious diversity ofgender, class, and religion, the U.S. has a diversity of races and ethnic groups that are representative of almost the entirehumanity. Not surprisingly, these major dimensions of society have historically shaped, and continue to shape, the livedexperiences of all peoples in this country (politically, economically, and socially). By specifically exploring two of thesemajor dimensions, race and class, we will seek to understand the nature of this process. Our focus, however, will be lesson empirical manifestations of race and class in the evolution and current circumstances of a multiracial capitalist democ-racy, such as the United States, than on obtaining a generic grounding in the theoretical underpinnings of race and classas heuristic concepts—considered, it must be emphasized, from an interdisciplinary perspective. This is a three-partcourse: in part one will be concerned with race, in part two, class, and in part three we will explore the race-class nexus.

20069AAS 358 (Same as AMS 358)Africa Diaspora: Soc Evol SEMTuesdays/Thursdays 3:30 PM - 4:50 PM Talbert 115 North CampusDr. Runstedtler

Course theme: African Americans and Global Politics

“The problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the color line, the question as to how far differences of race . . . are go-ing to be made, hereafter, the basis of denying to over half the world the right of sharing to their utmost ability the opportunitiesand privileges of modern civilization.”-W. E. B. Du Bois, “To the Nations of the World,” 1900

From the earliest days, many African American thinkers, activists, and artists realized that their racial oppression was notjust a unique American phenomenon, but part of a much larger, international problem rooted in the rise of slavery, im-perialism, and capitalism. This course uncovers this often buried aspect of the freedom struggle to encourage students tothink beyond the popular narratives of the Civil Rights Movement. Through primary and secondary source readings, wewill examine alternative theoretical models for thinking about African American politics and culture, including the ap-plicability of Pan-Africanism and the African diaspora, Marxism, the Black Atlantic, anti-imperialism, postcolonialism,and internationalism. Some of the units include, African Americans and the Haitian Revolution, black Atlantic abolition-ism, black emigration, African Americans and the Spanish-American War, Garveyism and the African diaspora, black


radicalism, black American artists in Paris, Africans Americans and decolonization, Black Power in a global context, andthe Anti-apartheid movement.

Mainland Caribbean Experience is a multi-disciplinary course which explores the urban experiences of Puerto Ricans, Mexicans, Cu-bans as well as West Indians in the United States. The course will draw on the methodology of history, sociology, and economics toexamine this topic. The purpose of this course is to explore the cultural and social experiences of this complex immigrant group inthe United States. We will begin by examining the political and economic reasons why Puerto Ricans, Mexicans and Cubans have mi-grated to the United States. A special focus will be experience Puerto Ricans in New York City which has produced a new ethnicitycalled Nuyorrican. In addition, we will explore the ways in which the Caribbean identity in the US has changed over a century of colo-nization, and how this fluid identity construction influences social and economic outcomes. This course will also examine the identityand experiences of Caribbean peoples affect their relationships with their homelands. Lastly, we will examine how the United States ischanging and inscribing Latin and Caribbean culture and idiom into mainstream U.S. values.

This course is designed to introduce students to the inter-disciplinary field of American Studies. In this class, we will beasking questions such as: What is America and how has it been shaped historically by intersecting issues of race, gender,ethnicity, sexuality, class, and nation? Who counts as an "American" and who does not? What does it mean to be "Amer-ican?" We will attempt to answer these questions through a critical analysis of popular culture and a variety of texts in-cluding, but not limited to, fiction, poetry, newspaper articles, film, etc. We will also pay particular attention to currentsocio-political and cultural events and explore how they relate to the issues being discussed in class. Potential topics tobe covered in class include, but are not limited to: immigration and ethnic identity formation, power and privilege, con-struction of race, gender and sexuality, feminism, news and media, role of religion in American society, and Americanmilitary interventions and foreign policy.

Course Topic: Citizenship and Nation-State in the American BorderlandsBorderlands are usually thought of as peripheral places, whose itinerant, migrant, or illegal inhabitants fall outside thenational community and its cultural life. This course will instead think of border spaces as central to the construction ofideas about territorial expansion, nationality, citizenship, immigration, race, ethnicity, gender, and sexuality. We will ap-proach the border from an interdisciplinary and hemispheric perspective drawing on readings and films from a variety ofdisciplines: American Studies, Indigenous Studies, Chicana/o Cultural Studies, Critical Geography, and Cultural History.We will trouble the dominant narratives of borderland history by focusing on the experiences of those excluded fromfull participation in national citizenship, such as Native American and Hispanic communities. A selection of academic,literary, and artistic works originating in the borderlands will give us insight into the multiple global, national, and localforces that determine life on the border as well as the cultural strategies for survival developed by border subjects. Aprimary concern will be the negotiation of gender, ethnicity, and sexuality in the border region. In this light, we will ex-amine mainstream media representations of the border and borderland subjects and the ways in which they are contestedthrough art and political activism. This course will familiarize students with key concepts of ethnic and minority studies,Native American studies, and globalization and immigration studies. Additionally, the course should develop students’analytical engagement with issues of visual culture and representation, legislation and citizenship, discourse and hegemo-ny, and popular culture and identity formation.

This section of American Lives and Environments will focus on American protests for social, political, economic, andenvironmental justice. Radical acts of change have been part of the fabric of the American experience even though theseevents may have been glossed over in traditional portrayals of American historical and contemporary ways of life. Thiscourse will study American protests against militarism and corporate capitalism. We will read protest literature on thefights for women’s rights, Black Power, queer rights, and food security. With a particular focus on youth movements, wewill explore how young activists are utilizing mass media sources (the Internet, contemporary music and lyrics, and Fa-cebook) to keep American activism alive and well in the 21st century. Students will research a particular social movementand the protests associated with it. They will also create an activism-based plan for a non-governmental organization oftheir choice.

In this course,we will attempt to do so in two ways: we will think about the United States in relation to the world and about the UnitedStates’ impact on the world. While the former will allow us to conceptualize the culture and history of the United Statesin transnational terms, the latter will force us to analyze the influence wielded by the United States in the global commu-nity. In thinking about how the United States operates in the world, we will critically examine the linkages between in-ternational migration, globalization, American imperialism, and mass culture. Throughout the course, we will also ques-tion ideas of American exceptionalism, of the United States as a self-contained, isolated nation, and of the salience offraming history in nation-based narratives. We will ask how the study of global events and forces, and of past US en-counters with other nations, peoples and movements, can help us understand our present and imagine a better future.

23947AMS 229 (Same as GGS 149)Top:-Transnational Sexualities SEMMondays/Wednesdays/Fridays 3:00 PM - 3:50 PM Park 146 North CampusDilcheva, D

We call the present moment transnational because of the unprecedented levels of people and products that cross andtransform political and cultural borders. Entire national economies in the Caribbean, for example, depend upon sendingmigrant laborers abroad and entertaining foreign tourists at home. Sex—as labor or leisure; for fun or for visa—propelssuch traffic in ways both obvious and unexpected. Sex is not only important in music videos and advertisement, but alsomatters to state legislators, immigration officers, and policemen; in this sense sexuality is never simply a private affair.


How and why should sex be important in matters of economic development, national citizenship, and foreign policy areguiding questions for this course. In this course we will study globalization from the perspectives of gender, race andsexuality. We will explore how sexual desires, identities and practices affect migration, trafficking and tourism. We willnot treat racial and gender identity as something inherited but as something created. We will examine all of these issuesfrom the perspective of society’s outcasts. We will discuss topics such as: identity as performance; desire, race and exoti-cism; sex work and agency; “sexual rights” discourses and legislative practices; global NGO culture; citizenship and na-tionalism. Alongside scholarly works, we will also analyze art, fiction, and activist writing. This course will familiarizestudents with key concepts in feminist and critical race theory, globalization and immigration studies. The course is of-fered in American Studies and Global Gender Studies but should also be of interest to students of Cultural Anthropolo-gy, Area Studies, African and African American Studies.

22894AMS 295Special Topics: The Culture of Food and Eating LECMondays/Wednesdays/Fridays 4:00 PM - 4:50 PM Park 146 North CampusBurdick, J M

This course takes “food” as its subject and explores the culture, history and politics of food and eating in the United States andabroad. Together we will explore the connections between what we eat and who we are – “we are what we eat” - through a criticalexamination of how personal identities and social groups are formed via food production, preparation, and consumption. In doing so,


this course will critically examine the role of food and eating in the construction of race, class, gender and sexual identities. While thiscourse focuses on food in the United States, it emphasizes a transnational approach. As such, students in this course will study themeaning and significance of food to different ethnic groups and diasporic communities by exploring the way that people transmit,preserve, and change culture through food. In doing so, we will study food as central to such phenomena as globalization, colonialism,immigration, transnational identity, and nation-state formation. In addition, we will seek to understand the relationship between foodand power, and will delve into the role of food in the formation of political movements, subaltern identities, anti-colonialism, contem-porary food justice projects and radical agrarian movements. Materials for this discussion based course will include scholarly articles,personal essays, book excerpts, newspaper articles, cookbooks, films, and television, among others. This class is open to students in anydiscipline or major, but some previous experience in the humanities, social sciences or American Pluralism will be beneficial.

What is your place in nature? What is your impact on this planet?AMS 343 explores how human beings interact with their natural and built environments. Using multidisciplinary approaches, we willanalyze spacial and temporal interrelationships between people, places, and resources. The course is divided into three units:I. Changes in the Land: The Human Place in NatureFocusing on historical and literary studies, we will examine the dynamic interplay between various human cultures, their natural envi-ronments, and their economic practices.

“In reclaiming and reoccupying lands laid waste by human improvidence or malice . . . the task is to become a co-worker with nature in thereconstruction of the damaged fabric.”

— George Perkins Marsh, Man and Nature (1864)II. The Life Cycles of Food & ThingsWhere in the world do the objects we consume come from and where do they go after we discard them? How can we cultivatehealthy policies and practices in relation to agriculture, urban planning, public space, and food systems? How can we help to democra-tize access to food, water, clean air, fair wages, health care, and education locally and globally? What are the environmental impacts of“waste” (excess, garbage, pollution, “wasted time,” mortality, recycling)?III. The Meanings of GardensWhy is “nature” such a contested terrain in the world today? What are the relationships between gardens, time, and stories---in otherwords, between material landscapes and cityscapes, the temporal plots of life and death, and the plots of stories or myths?

“To protect the nature that is all around us, we must think long and hard about the nature we carry inside our heads.”— William Cronin, Uncommon Ground (1996)

Course assignments will include reading, writing, watching films, participating in class discussions, and taking at least one field trip.

Course theme: African Americans and Global Politics

“The problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the colour line, the question as to how far differences of race . . . are go-ing to be made, hereafter, the basis of denying to over half the world the right of sharing to their utmost ability the opportunitiesand privileges of modern civilization.”-W. E. B. Du Bois, “To the Nations of the World,” 1900

From the earliest days, many African American thinkers, activists, and artists realized that their racial oppression was notjust a unique American phenomenon, but part of a much larger, international problem rooted in the rise of slavery, im-perialism, and capitalism. This course uncovers this often buried aspect of the freedom struggle to encourage students tothink beyond the popular narratives of the Civil Rights Movement. Through primary and secondary source readings, wewill examine alternative theoretical models for thinking about African American politics and culture, including the ap-plicability of Pan-Africanism and the African diaspora, Marxism, the Black Atlantic, anti-imperialism, postcolonialism,and internationalism. Some of the units include, African Americans and the Haitian Revolution, black Atlantic abolition-ism, black emigration, African Americans and the Spanish-American War, Garveyism and the African diaspora, black


radicalism, black American artists in Paris, Africans Americans and decolonization, Black Power in a global context, andthe Anti-apartheid movement.

The United States is truly one of the most pluralistic countries in the world today. In addition to the obvious diversity ofgender, class, and religion, the U.S. has a diversity of races and ethnic groups that are representative of almost the entirehumanity. Not surprisingly, these major dimensions of society have historically shaped, and continue to shape the livedexperiences of all peoples in this country (politically, economically, and socially). By specifically exploring two of thesemajor dimensions, race and class, we will seek to understand the nature of this process. Our focus, however, will be lesson empirical manifestations of race and class in the evolution and practice of a multiracial capitalist democracy, such asthe United States, than on obtaining a generic grounding in the theoretical underpinnings of race and class as heuristicconcepts—considered, it must be emphasized, from an interdisciplinary perspective. This is a three-part course: in partone will be concerned with race, in part two, class, and in part three we will explore the race-class nexus.

It also examines why more and morewomen are becoming active in the international human rights movement. Further, it will discuss in detail how women are attemptingto shape the present discourse of development in different regions of the world economy. Intended to develop a multidisciplinaryapproach to gender and more specifically, to understand how gender is constructed by political, economic, and cultural discourses inindustrialized and industrializing societies, to understand the differences between the lived experiences of women in these societies, theheterogeneous nature of women voices across shifting lines of intersecting identities based on class, race, religion, sexuality, ethnicity,language, religion and nationality, and how women's lives are changing in the context of the ongoing crisis in our present global econ-omy. Topics will include unpacking the category of "women's work," changes in women's roles with increased global integration, in-ternational migration by women, women's experience of and participation in conflict, and diverse perspectives on the topics of family,health, government, and other institutions. The intended end is to gain understanding of both the commonalities in the experiencesof many women around the world as well as the enormous diversity present in their experiences and understandings of those experi-ences.

Dr. Varnado

This course is meant to introduce students to the complex and varied theories present in the history of feminist thought.Throughout the semester, we will focus on becoming familiar with the major theorists and central arguments of manyschools of feminist thought including the three traditional 'Waves' as well as Marxist and Socialist feminism, radical fem-inism, Black feminist thought, Third World feminism, cultural feminism, queer theory, ecofeminism and psychoanalyt-ic/structuralist feminism. By gaining command of these concepts, students should be able to better understand the on-going, complex conversations that constitute what we call 'feminist theory.' Therefore, we will attempt not only to en-gage with the texts themselves, but also to discuss the implications of such theories across a variety of academic disci-plines and various forms of feminist activism. Feminist theory requires us to become comfortable discussing topics wemay have been taught to avoid, to question the status quo of various aspects of 'society' and to have the ability to critical-ly engage what we may have previously considered to be absolute knowledge or fact. By committing yourself to thisclass, you are agreeing to be respectful of others' opinions and beliefs. You are (hopefully) also committing to an attemptto engage with some of your own opinions and beliefs in ways you might not have previously considered.

22914GGS 379Sex: Gender & Pop Culture SEMMondays/Wednesdays/Fridays 2:00 PM - 2:50 PM Knox 14 North CampusSzaniawska, A

The advent of television in 1950s, coupled with technological advances in filmmaking and film distribution (Blockbustervideo, Netflix, bootleg production), further popularized visual culture as a primary means of both naming and interrogat-ing the ways in which we understand the social constructions of race, sex, gender, and sexuality. In this course, we willemploy feminist perspectives as a way of examining how these social constructions (and expectations) are shaped bypopular culture globally; and thus shape our ideas about ourselves and others as “feminine” and “masculine” and “sexu-al” beings. We will discuss several written and visual texts. By doing so, we hope to consider a number of questions in-cluding (1) how does “entertainment” act as a substitute for the transmission of social knowledge?; (2) what are the ad-vantages and disadvantages of popular cultures in the construction of contemporary social life?; (3) how do popular cul-tures define “racialized” bodies in a more global context (that is, in and outside the United Stated)?; (4) how does popu-lar culture impact the consumption of socio-cultural values, globally?; (5) what are the alternatives to popular cultures?;(6) what value systems do such alternatives promote/privilege?; (7) how do alternative sites of culture engage us in no-tions of sustainability, of “thinking locally and acting globally?” Students will demonstrate knowledge of a broader un-derstanding of the terms “popular culture,” “entertainment,” and “mediated lives.” Students who successfully completethis course should be able to articulate verbal and written analyses of contemporary popular cultures.
