CLST 3325 Cultural Studies Theory
Students explore a variety of theoretical approaches to the study of culture, including visual theory, literary theory and performance theory. Students focus on the contexts in which these cultural representations are produced and in which they circulate. Students investigate how visual, textual and performative discourses create and contest social borders, replicate cultures, and negotiate power dynamics. Students examine case studies from the fine and performing arts, film, literary texts, advertising, etc.
