what’s expressive culture about??
“The course introduces some of the ways the disciplines of anthropology and cultural studies have analyzed expressive culture. After an initial discussion of regional American accents, in which basic sociological understandings are set out, we take up a number of scholars’ approaches to fairy tales. These include psychoanalytic, historical, and feminist perspectives. The builk of the course then turns to movies in order to demonstrate how social and cultural issues raised earlier in the course pertain to Hollywood, Bollywood, and other non-Western films. The focus is not on evaluating the films but rather on seeing the solutions (usually fantastic) films proffer in response to widely shared tensions and contradictions in contemporary social life.”
i think i decided not to take it this semester because it’s at a weird time and would make the rest of my schedule really annoying but i will probably take it eventually
