Class Description Fall 2007 - Section R01
Title: Pop Fandom and Culture
Popular culture, from music to film to television and more, is a big presence
in our lives, relating to our tastes, our cultural values, and even our ways
of viewing the world. Often, we become "fans" who intensely enjoy, learn
about, and collect stuff related to a particular band, actor, author, etc.
What drives our desire for the object of our affection/obsession? What do we
gain from our fandom? How does the pop culture industry play into that fandom?
In this course, students will celebrate and critique pop culture by exploring
their own and/or others' fandom.
