GS 221
The Cosmopolitan Village
What is the place of culture in the process of globalization,
which seems simultaneously to be integrating and fragmenting
the world? Is there a global cosmopolitan culture emerging,
despite the valorization of cultural differences? These are the
type of questions that this course addresses. Students will
discuss the dreams, visions and imaginings of a shared global
culture, but also the hard cultural differences that refuse to go
away.
Notes: Hours per week: Lecture/Discussion: 2, Tutorial/Seminar: 1
