Course content
|
We will encounter a wide range of works from popular culture, including children's literature, graphic novels, YA fiction, science fiction, music, television, and film. Students will explore how these works address stereotypes, analogies, exoticism, power relations, and other dynamics from the Intercultural Toolbox. We will analyze how characters in the works address cultural differences - the strategies they use, the examples they give - and learn to read them as models for intercultural communication.
