| Selected Topics in Sociology: Beyoncé & Taylor: Art, Politics, & Intersectionality - 56415 - SOC 2130 - 001 | |||||||||||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
This course explores the confluence of art, politics, and celebrity culture through a comparative, intersectional study of Beyoncé Knowles and Taylor Swift. We will use concepts and methods from cultural sociology and intersectional analysis to think deeply and critically about the ways in which these two artists and their massive communities of fans are both transforming and affirming youth identities, while sometimes challenging traditional meanings about race, gender, sexuality, and place. We will ask: How have they used their genre-spanning songwriting to achieve both pop stardom and critical acclaim? In what sense, if any, is their art political? How do they craft iconic public images that inspire imitation and adoration across lines of gender and race? How can we understand their dominance in a music industry once so inimical to female success? What limits are there to the transformative powers of their art? What, if any, are the dark sides of the BeyHive and Swiftie communities?

| Immigration. Race, and Identity in Contemporary Italy - 48600 - SOC 2130 - 551 | |||||||||||||||||||||
|
As immigrants, asylum seekers, and refugees move “within” and across Italian urban borders, they impact the familiar, inciting an array of responses in different contexts and forms. This course assumes that to talk about contemporary Italian society, it is necessary to understand Italy’s colonial past and the past emigrations of Italians elsewhere. This historical and cultural foundation is crucial when discussing contemporary politics of migration control, with regards to Northern Africa and the international relations between Italy and Libya at the opposite shores of the Mediterranean.
The course explores how changes in laws regulating citizenship have influences immigration as well as definitions of Italian nationality and European belonging. Employing cross-cultural and multi-disciplinary approaches to the subject of how identity is formed, challenged, and defended in an ever more globalized world, learners investigate the pressing issues of immigration, race and ethnicity that have sparked such controversy and passion both in contemporary Italy, Europe, and the U.S. NOTE: Mandatory Academic Excursion for POLS 2000/SOC 2130 three days in Genova Nov. 22, 23, 24.

| Ideology and Social Change in Japan - 53717 - SOC 2130 - 801 | |||||||||||||||||||||
|
CL: ASST 2000 (801). Topical Course Description: Ideology and Social Change in Japan addresses the ideological components of contemporary social and political issues in Japan. The study of ideology involves analysis of conceptual frames of reference, based upon an understanding of cultural values and beliefs as they are articulated through political discourse and embodied in public policy. This course approaches Japanese social change from a comparative perspective, with reference to globalization and its effects on Japanese culture today. Topics addressed will include Japanese nationalism, racial/ethnic minorities and their status in an increasingly diverse society, gender roles & family, the “soft power” politics of youth and popular culture, and economic stratification in the labor market. The course also examines the profound effect that Japan's history of disasters (especially the 3/11 Tohoku disasters: earthquake, tsunami and the Fukushima nuclear crisis) have brought to Japan, and the social and psychological impact of rapid social change in this uniquely post–modern society.
