Cíle předmětu
This course aims to provide students with some of the key concepts and discussions in the field of popular culture, subculture studies, youth and consumerism studies. The main objective is to suggest conceptual frameworks with the help of which students will be able to problematize not just the hegemonic popular culture but also seemingly resisting subcultures and liberating lifestyles. Moreover, they will be able to perceive how popular and youth cultures participate in formulating of gendered as well as classed, raced and sexed identities. Throughout the course, we will ask number of questions that help us utilize the texts to practice critical thinking. Ideally, we will be inspired to pose intriguing research questions for our future projects as sociologists, ethnographers, philosophers, journalists or simply curious humans.
