Course Title
Gender, Race and National Identity in Global Popular Culture
Course Description
This course takes a Postcolonial Feminist Cultural Studies approach to examine the changing meanings of gender, race and national identity in popular cultures across the globe. The key question for this course is, “What is the role of the media in establishing and sometimes challenging gendered and racial ideologies in everyday practices of global and local cultural meanings?” We will interrogate racial representations and stereotypes of Black, Latinx and Asian American minority communities by focusing on case studies, such as, Latin American telenovelas, American Hip hop and Korean wave.
