授業の目的 【英語】
Goals of the Course | | This course will examine how identities are constructed, mobilized, negotiated and resisted through material objects circulated through consumer culture.
Even when they appear to be distant from global economic centers elsewhere, people’s lives in specific local spaces are intricately connected with the circulation of commodities and ideas beyond those places. Employing an interdisciplinary approach, students will acquire theoretical knowledge and skills to explore a range of themes in material cultural studies, such as consumer desires, commodity fetishism, affects, the private/public spheres and mobility. |
