Section Title:
Globalization and Culture
Section Info:
Topic: Globalization and Culture. Description: The rapidly expanding literature on globalization and artistic and intellectual life, both popular and elite, will be critically surveyed in this course. Macro-structures of globalization-times and spaces of encounter, violence and the law, migration, and the circulation of objects-will be the subject of its first part. Micro-studies of cultural expression and institutions-cosmopolitan intellectuals, objects and art, museums and heritage sites, musical encounters, and religious and "civilizing" missions-will be studied in the second part. Our temporal focus will be the mid-nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century, with room to range backward and forward. While the course will be anchored in history, it will also welcome approaches from other disciplines including anthropology, sociology, literature, and music.
