LV-Beschreibung
Inhalt/e
Culture, ethnicity, aesthetics, and ideology, often powerfully combined in the concept “subculture,” play a crucial role in the development of American identities (and identities elsewhere). This course explores how and why culture is performed as a means by which to define, express, and maintain social identity, and, going deeper, the values and passions that inspire them. Subcultures, such as Beats, hippies, slam poets, bikers, punks, Goths, nerds, geeks, pachucos, magicians, activists, BMXers, surfers, freeskiers, skateboarders, drag kings, bodybuilders, strippers, modern dancers, hip-hop enthusiasts, and gangstas, etc., have importantly formed and thrived in countries worldwide, including the United States, which will be our focus. This course is less interested in subcultural affiliations – “community cultures” – based on ethnic/national differences and origins (African-, Italian-, Chinese-, Irish-American, etc.) than on the aesthetics, ideology, politics, desire, affect, and consumerism reciprocally informed by “alternative” or “counter” cultural formations (not dominant in any standard artistic, demographic, or regional registrar). We will engage various theories of culture, subjectivity, identity, aesthetics, media, and consumerism from a range of disciplines, though there will be emphasis on approaches from performance, theater, cognitive, ethnic, media, and cultural studies, as we explore the significance and influence of American subcultures, especially as they are fetishized, commodified, and – most importantly – performed.
