This lecture course will introduce students to theoretical approaches, practices and key issues
relevant to the study of culture. Beginning with basic questions such as “How do we talk about
culture”, “How do we talk about identity” and “How do we talk about representation”, we
will proceed to such issues as “culture and the production of meanings”, “culture and spatial
practices” or “culture, time and history”. The course aims at providing an introduction to a range
of methods of inquiry, emphasizing the trans- and multidisciplinary nature of cultural studies.

the US, (popular) founding myths and their persistence, hegemonic narratives and icons, visual(-
izing) America, New Hollywood, popular music, counter cultures. We will examine a number of
selected documents both written and audio-(visual) from historical key moments which
contributed to shaping American imagination(s).
