AMST 3710:U.S. in the World

3 Credit Hours
Prerequisite: ENGL 1102
Examines “America” as a cultural signifier that circulates around the world. These representations not only travel to other countries, but also return to us in cultural products from other countries. In addition to cultural theory, we will look at film, television, literature, and music. A primary concern is to interrogate what ideological assumptions underlie our notion of what “America” means.
