Week 1: Globalization & Culture

And so we begin digging into this broad idea of globalization and culture and what the relationship between the two is, and why, and what made the world change. We spent the first class discussing the broadness of the topic, getting to know our professor, and each other.

Now the work begins. We will be studying the effects of globalization and culture through various forms of cultural/art production including short novels, film and politically related essays/speeches with some forms of music, art etc mixed in. We are focusing our study in the time period of 1973 to the present.

This should be an interesting experience. And, a good pairing with my other (Debord) class.

Plus, I get to watch The Empire Strikes Back as a homework assignment.
