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 film and prose fictions, cultural icons, sport, idealised masculinity and femininity, and body rituals) and examine how these work ideologically to position audiences, readers and participants.

Materials Text information will be published prior to commencement of the teaching period.
Disclaimer Offer of some subjects is subject to viability. Information in these unit descriptions is subject to change prior to commencement of semester.
