American Popular Culture (Semester 1)
Teacher: Joe Cooperman
This course will explore the apparently pervasive force of American popular culture within local and global contexts. We will begin by coming to terms with the terms 'popular' and 'culture' and will seek to develop working definitions of each that will inform further inquiry. These inquiries will include; popular music, subcultures, gender / sexuality and the popular gaze, communications theory, cultural studies, advertising and the media, fan culture, cultural resistance and cyber-media. Other avenues of investigation will also be explored as they are discussed and developed.
