Using insights from anthropology, history, sociology, as well as media and performance studies, we will explore how these forms of cultural expression have reflected and shaped class, gender, nation-making, modernity, race, sexuality, and other axes of power. Our goal is to explore how genres of elite and popular culture subvert, maintain, and disrupt dominant norms and hierarchical relations. TAUGHT IN PORTUGUESE
