Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

This course will introduce students to some of the key concepts employed in cultural studies. We will discuss how cultural texts and cultural processes are produced and consumed. Focusing on such issues as representation, power, hegemony, and globalization as well as such theories as structuralism and poststructuralism, among others, we will trace how the field of cultural studies has evolved as a discipline as well as outline the key approaches and issues that constitute cultural studies. What is “meaning”? What is the difference between “high culture” and “low culture”? How have “new media” transformed our world?

Such questions are approached with a particular focus on the medium of comics and how this medium can both critically approach topics like racism and sexism but has also been shaped by them.
