HS 6580 - Cultural Criticism

Cultural criticism is a recent synthesis of work in anthropology, literary criticism, feminist studies, cultural and intellectual history, African-American studies, semiotics, philosophy, political studies, and many other disciplines. Its foci are on the understandings and practices that comprise our subjectivity and the contexts of our daily lives; how those understandings and practices are institutionalized, legitimized, and rationalized; how they shape our experiences and interactions with ourselves, our intimate relationships, and contemporary American society. The course examines the identity of knowledge and power as expressed in the media, psychotherapy, medicine, education, prisons, and language. 3 credit(s)
