The course takes a specific interdisciplinary approach, showing the effects of global culture on cultural formation throughout the orld (but with particular attention to the “non-Western” world). Some of the issues discussed are the complex global connectivities of specific cultural products and practices like literature, telenovelas (soap operas), restaurants, Bollywood and Hollywood movies.
