AMERICAN UNIVERSITY of KUWAIT 2007-2008 ACADEMIC CATALOG understanding cultural representation. Popular culture products are particularly powerful products in societies, cutting across barriers of language and religion, caste and class. We will use popular culture as an important resource for anthropological insights into contemporary social issues and processes. Very importantly as well, with the maturing of postcolonial South Asia and the increasing diaspora communities all over the world, it follows that issues such as continuity and transformation of tradition, the impact of imperialism, the “Indianization” of English are increasingly seen as areas of debate and research. Accordingly, we will also address notions of hybridity and diversity, and examine the resistance of unique, traditional cultural forms to the tensions created by globalization.
