55063 Media, Culture, Identity

8cp
Honours subject – 400 level

This subject is concerned with the role of mediated representation and communication in the development and reproduction of cultural and social identity. It considers a broad range of symbolic forms, and relates them to the social construction of space, time and social interaction; forms of social identity such as ethnicity, class, nationality, gender, sexuality and age; and relates professional and community practice in the symbolic field to developments in the political, economic and coercive fields. It emphasises the specificity of historical and geographic factors within larger structural developments, and takes a comparative and critical approach to the use and evaluation of social theory.
