THEMES

Winter 2003: Cultural Citizenship

Cultural Citizenship invites participants to consider anthropological, historical, gender, science, sociological, political, and cultural-studies theories of public subjectivity. It examines a crisis in belonging—a population crisis of who, what, when, and where. The crisis has been occasioned by changes in the global division of labor, the end of state socialism, and the outpourings of US civil-rights and social-movement discourses and institutions. We will investigate the uneven development of citizenship from a political to an economic and then a cultural model.

Spring 2003: Culture and Market

Culture and Market will look at the contemporary intertwined discourses of cultural nationalism, cultural imperialism, and globalization from the prism of the New International Division of Cultural Labor. We shall consider such issues as negotiations in the GATT and WTO on culture, Third World/Southern perspectives on cultural exchange, and the respective role of governments, international organizations, unions, and civil society in the global cultural infrastructure.
