This course will make students familiar with various theoretical approaches and practices common to the study of culture. It will introduce students to intellectual roots of cultural studies, focusing on the theoretical bases for the analyses of meaning and power in the production and reception of texts. While offering various approaches to the study of literatures and cultures in the English-speaking world, this class will also provide students with a number of examples of how these approaches can be and have been applied. In our analyses, we will draw on a range of cultural material of different genres and media, and we will explore the ways in which questions of representation and rhetorical/ideological construction are interrelated with issues such as identity, power, ethnicity, gender and class.
