Kommentar: This course will introduce students to the increasingly popular but rather fuzzy concept of 'Cultural Studies', presenting the main topics, methods and models connected with this approach. We will try to strike a balance between the theoretical and practical aspects of 'culture', i.e. abstract approaches will always be applied to (in the broadest sense) 'cultural practices' like TV, film, advertising or tourism. In addition, categories like class, nation or gender will be discussed in relation to individual and group identities and with regard to their reflection in contemporary British literature and popular culture.
