Semester Two 2012
Cultural Studies, Globalization and New Technologies
Description
This course explores various dimensions of the cultural politics of globalization and new media technologies in the early 21st century. We will examine how new cultural, technological and economic developments and practices are disrupting and reconfiguring established social and spatial boundaries and formations. This course provides students with conceptual tools necessary for understanding the forces that are driving the current rapid transformation of our world, and the efforts of different cultural agents to participate in and shape these transformations. Topics include environmentalism and post-environmentalism, war and conflict in the digital age, new media cultures, illegal global economies, global Indigenous media movements, and consumption as/and cultural activism.
