Comment/Description

This series of interactive lectures demonstrates the centrality of popular culture and mass media to understanding the political present. We address topics such as how literary studies and philology came to embrace the analysis of phenomena relating to sports and fashion, as well as how media interpretation and theory have evolved into academic disciplines.
Central concepts and methods of cultural, media, and popular studies are introduced and illustrated through case studies about current political-cultural events. This analytical work leads to discussions of race, gender, sexuality, diversity, social hierarchies and how to decolonize knowledge.
