HUM 107 — Introduction to Cultural Studies (5 cr)
This course introduces students to the practice of analyzing American popular culture in its various forms, from films, advertisements and music to the habits and practices that characterize everyday life in the United States. Students learn to "read" popular culture using a wide range of interdisciplinary perspectives and theories, in particular those that emphasize how class, gender, sexuality, nationality and race are represented in cultural texts. Students discuss how these representations shape cultural beliefs and attitudes. Prerequisite: ENGL& 101 or permission of instructor. (SCC, SFCC)
