CULTURAL STUDIES

Short Description

Cultural Studies endeavours to understand the political dimension of culture, examining the ways in which culture is a site of contestation, conveying different ideologies, and embodying different values as well as emotions of the people. Our programme facilitates a critical and interdisciplinary study of contemporary local and global culture so that students may envisage alternative ways of life and social changes. Through close analysis of a variety of texts - including films, all kinds of performance, city as well as virtual space of the web, students can take courses in the following areas: (1) Cultural Literacy and Practices, (2) Culture, Cities and Politics, (3) Gender, Sexuality and Body, (4) Cultural Industries and Ecology, and (5) Film & Media Studies and Practices.
