PSC 344 - Modern and Postmodern Political Thought: Culture and Power3.00 credit hours
This course examines the relationship between culture and power. Culture infuses and constitutes forms of identity, organization and practice in society, the economy and in politics. It informs the lives of humans in relation to one another and the social system in which they participate. Culture is the process of meaning making that gives rise to attitudes, beliefs, values and norms. The course outlines some of the central theoretical traditions in the study of cultural meaning making, and examines the relationship between processes of meaning making, power and domination in social life. Most of the readings make an effort to examine these issues in the context of specific past and present empirical cases in the United States and other societies.
