POLS 269 - Popular Culture and World Politics
Popular culture is more than just a staple of American life. It is a global phenomenon that distributes a vast array of norms, values, identities, beliefs, and other eminently political issues to billions, on a daily basis. Traditionally, however, political science has not given popular culture much thought. This class challenges that attitude. In introducing students to theories of case studies on the global political significance of popular culture – which will engage issues ranging from capitalism, to world war, to terrorism – this course seeks to understand the vitally important role popular culture plays in constructing and ordering our political world.
