GS221 Examining the Third World: Globalization and Cultures 0.5 |
This course examines the theories and practices that help situate the "third world" as a geographical, cultural, economic and political space. We will examine how the local and the global interlink to shape multiple cultural and political contexts. Particular emphasis will be paid to the ways in which globalization is moving us towards a "McWorld", as well as the points of resistance. |
Prerequisite: GS100; or GS101 and GS102, or permission of the co-ordinator. |
