Communication and Culture

Content
This course is designed to give students a thorough grounding in the analysis and understanding of cultural products and different cultural practices. You will learn definitions of culture and study the relationship between culture and concepts of 'value'. From this basis, students will move to consider the rationales for capitalism, globalisation and consumerism - and will combine these in a close study of a cultural 'site' like 'spaces and places' or 'objects of desire'.
