| Coordinator(s) | Jane O'Sullivan (josulli@une.edu.au) | |||||||||
| Unit Description |
This unit introduces approaches to popular culture and the high-low labels imposed upon cultural practices and products. Students will analyse texts and practices (such as prose fictions, cultural icons, sport, idealised masculinity and femininity, popular music, and body rituals) and examine how these work ideologically to position audiences, readers and participants. |
