Course
Course 7.5 credits • IMSB26
This course deals with popular culture as an aesthetic and cultural-historical phenomenon, where intermedial dimensions in different cultural phenomena are particularly emphasized.
Teaching – spring semester of 2022
From 9 February, more teaching will be conducted on campus. During the gradual return to campus, some digital teaching will continue. Hence, it is very important that you pay attention to information from your teacher and potential changes in your schedule in Canvas and/or TimeEdit.
Moreover, the course will take a specific aspect of popular culture focusing on what it means to experience it in different live events, such as concerts, sport events, stand-up comedy, festivals, and activities related to the experience industry, and everyday life culture phenomena. The course will also take a focus on historical perspectives on popular culture.
During the course, methods relevant to the study of live events will be highlighted, such as field work, participatory observations, interviews, etc. as well as theoretical analyses grounded in intermediality theory. The student will make use of one method in an individual, minor study that deals with a live event (individually chosen).
This course is also included in IMSA22, Intermedia Studies: Level 2.
