Course Catalog Description
Advanced study in sociology, with specific topics to be announced at the beginning of each semester.
Class Description
This course will explore how bodies are represented in popular culture, drawing upon theories in sociology, cultural studies, and feminist studies to make sense of these representations. We will analyze popular cultural representations from a range of genres that demonstrate oppression and domination of certain groups, as well as exploring examples of resistance.
We will explore questions such as: How are gender, sexuality, race, ability, body size, and class represented in popular culture? How do representations of bodies challenge hegemonic norms and how do they uphold them? What is the importance of cultural representations? What do they tell us about the social world? What are the different meanings attached to different bodies, to different body parts?
