Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This class is devoted to Cultural Studies and its discontents and is based on Graeme Turner's 2012 polemic publication What's Become of Cultural Studies?. Turner helps us newly focus on Cultural Studies theories and methodologies and thus provides ample food for thought. The class is of interest for PhD students who are interested in recent trends and discussions within the tradition of British Cultural Studies in particular and Cultural Studies in general. The class is of interest for students embarking on, or already working on their 'Dissertation' (PhD thesis) in the area of Cultural Studies, very broadly conceived. The aim of the course is twofold: first, to have the opportunity to discuss controversies in Cultural Studies and second, to get to know the projects of fellow students. Giving and receiving feedback and support for thesis work is another important aspect of this course.
