This innovative interdisciplinary programme involves expert lecturers and professors from a number of schools and departments within the College of Arts and Law and College of Social Sciences, each providing a different area of expertise in the subject area. It will introduce you to major theories of culture that span Humanities, Historical Studies and the Social Sciences; theories that belong broadly to the fields of critical theory, cultural studies and discourse.
Contents
In your core module you will explore issues related to power, ideology and discourse through a discussion of Marxism, the Frankfurt School, Foucault and post-colonialism. You will also examine issues related to identity/subjectivity (psychoanalysis, feminism, queer theory and cyber theory). In the second semester you choose either a second Cultural Inquiry option (from Globalisation, Media, Hermeneutics, Post-Modernism, and others) or a range of related, complementary options from across the two Colleges.
On the MA programme, you will take six taught modules (120 credits), three core and three optional, and conclude the programme with the completion of a 12,000-word dissertation (60 credits). The programme also has an MPhil(B) counterpart –see Cultural Inquiry MPhil(B)|.
