ANTH375: Globalisation and Culture
Mass communications, especially film, television and radio, the globalisation of the advertising industry, and the emergence of mass tourism are powerful forces for cultural change in the contemporary world. Using the framework of recent work in public culture, including debates around modernity and post-modernism, as well as an historical framework, this unit draws from a variety of media sources to illustrate the complexity of the global cultural flow and considers the implications of these developments for concepts of nationhood and cultural identity, under the sign of technological transformation.
