This course will critically approach popular culture. We will engage in debates on popular culture, discuss various ways and methods of analyzing it and engage in exemplary investigations of specific examples. Employing a cultural historical perspective we will focus on categories of difference such as race, class, gender, sexuality. Students will improve their critical reading skills that can be applied to academic as well as to popular texts. Moreover, we will develop ideas how to productively use popular culture in schools.
