SEMESTER ONE Paper One Course Code: MAC 101 Course Title: Introduction to Cultural Studies Credit: 04 Course Objectives

What is cultural studies? Without trying to seek a singular answer, this question instead becomes the organising principle around which this course is structured. The course focuses on not just the theories, methods, significant figures and debates in cultural studies but also on the possibilities offered by the field to rethink our world and unsettle taken-for-granted assumptions. Some of the questions we will address will include: How is culture defined and what is its relationship to economic and political structures? How are cultural meanings produced, circulated and consumed? How do cultural formations produce patterns of individuated subjectivity and social relationships, and how do we think about agency? The course will address contemporary cultural issues in the context of post-colonialism, literary theory, nationalism, questions of identity and rights, feminism, globalisation and modernity. This course will introduce students to basic concepts and theoretical developments within Cultural Studies, with the aim of imparting critical perspectives, which would help them look critically at their own cultural landscapes. It will also engage with contemporary socio-political and historical issues in India from a cultural studies perspective.

This course aims to offer a broad brush strokes perception of contemporary India, its traditions and its modernity, its heterogeneity, and its multiple histories.

This course will focus on ideas of inequality, stratification, marginalisation, resistance and movements. Some of the issues it will tackle are caste, gender, ethnicity, religion, tribes, sexuality, art, architecture and film.

SEMESTER TWO Course Code : MAC 201 COURSE TITLE: Introduction to Media and Cultural Studies Research Credits: 04 As a broad introduction to the scientific and interpretative paradigms, the first part of this course is intended to provide the student with a conceptual map of social sciences research. It explains the basic concepts and categories that are used in research and delineates their linkages. The aim is to equip the learner with a basic understanding of the different ways in which social reality could be conceptualised and studied and the implications of this for the research process. The second part of the course draws on the notion of media and cultural studies as disciplines that explore the workings of power and resistance in contemporary media and culture, where the researcher and the research work are also constructed in and through ideological signifying practices. The aim of this part is to introduce the students to various methodological issues of doing cultural studies research, to enable them understand and use various methods and reflect on the ethics and politics of representation within their research praxis. The course will also introduce them to the range of methods used for studying media institutions, texts and audiences.
