ISSS 410S - Exploring Theory Through American Culture


This course will use the lens of contemporary American culture to explore the work of some major social and cultural theorists of the past two centuries, including Marx, Durkheim, Debord, Foucault, Baudrillard, and the thinkers of the Frankfurt School.  Particular areas of focus will include technology and its impact on society and culture, the socio-economic transitions involved in the globalization of contemporary capitalism, and the idea of the “postmodern.” (IR)
