SOC230: Cultural Sociology |
This unit will look at debates regarding how to conceptualize and study culture. It will briefly examine the place of culture in classical sociology before moving on to the recent phenomenon known as the 'cultural turn' in the social sciences. Students will be asked to consider how the tools of cultural sociology have been applied to both cultural (eg, arts, religion, music, television, fashion, architecture, taste, etc.) and non-cultural domains (eg, politics, social movements, national celebrations, science and knowledge, collective trauma). Students will also address the issue of how cultural sociology intersects and diverges from fields such as cultural studies, cultural geography and cultural history. The unit will be case study oriented and will rely on the latest literatures in this vibrant field of the social sciences.
