By analyzing scientific readings, video documentaries, and pop culture productions such as TV series, movies, music, or comics, students will investigate and compare the linguistic and cultural realities of youth in different contexts. We will explore questions of youth agency; identity, belonging and authenticity; marginalization and assigned roles in society; resistance and political activism; fashion, style and ritual; music and youth pop culture in a global context. We will also consider the importance of the internet and social media in youth cultural experiences, as well as how youth languages and cultures intersect with gender, race, sexuality, ethnicity and class, both locally and globally.
