Section 001
Enrollment Status:
Open (24 of 25 seats filled)
Course Catalog Description:
Historical analysis of how popular arts represent issues of gender, race, consumerism, and citizenship. How popular artists define boundaries of citizenship and public life: inclusions/exclusions in polity and national identity. How popular arts reinforce/alter political ideologies.
Class Description:
Is there a relationship between popular culture and politics? How has popular culture influenced left and right-wing political campaigns as well as civil rights, feminist, and LGBT political actions? In what ways have policies shaped how popular culture is produced and consumed? This class will explore these questions by tracing the complex connections between popular culture and politics in America since the start of WWII. Far from a standard history course, we will watch movies and TV shows, listen to music, read novels, and analyze comic books and video games in order to discuss how popular culture has expressed and engaged contemporary American politics and life.
