WiSe 21/22: GK-Introduction to Cultural Studies
Sabine Schülting
Kommentar
The course will give an overview of the questions, main approaches, and terminology of Cultural Studies. After a clarification of what we mean when we speak of ‘culture’ and a brief sketch of the historical development of Cultural Studies, the course will focus on contemporary cultural phenomena (e.g. Brexit and Britishness, popular culture, constructions of gender and race etc.) as represented in different genres and media. These topics will serve as examples for introducing students to the basic theories and methods in Cultural Studies.
This Introduction to Cultural Studies will be organised as a series of weekly lectures with discussion. If the pandemic situation allows it, the course will be taught on Campus, in the person. Please check Blackboard in the first week of October for an update.
Exchange students are of course welcome. You can gain 2 ECTS for attendance and up to 5 ECTS (and a grade) if you pass a written exam, which will take place in the last week of the semester. There is no exam for students in the BA English Philology.
