HUM 325 - Globalization of Culture

Class Hours: 3, Units: 3
General Education: Area C2 Humanities - upper division
Prerequisite(s): EGL 100
A study of globalization through the medium of culture. Instead of emphasizing the indigenous roots of native cultures, this course examines emergent cultural formations brought about by postcolonialism, internationalism, and new forms of media interrelations which produce a new culture of hybridity and heterogeneity. Attention is given to the identification, interpretation and interrogation of late twentieth-century and early twenty-first century cultural formations (literature, film, music, performance arts) that are produced and consumed in ways that resist traditional classifications according to national or regional identity.
