Voraussetzungen / Organisatorisches: The lecture will introduce students to the range of theories that make up Cultural Studies. These will include basic theories of culture, representation, and power, dominant paradigms in Cultural Studies such as gender and sexuality, race, and class, and also more recent developments such as ecocriticism and theories of virtuality. Each lecture will revolve around a central text that it will summarise and explain. Each lecture will also contain an example (textual, visual, or audiovisual) that it will use for an application of the theory. The lectures will be held live, with a backup of Powerpoint slides and audio commentary for students who cannot attend in person. It will conclude with a short exam in the final week of teaching.
