The course will discuss the various expressions of popular culture within 20th century art and media. The collaboration between different media will be emphasized. Main focus will be on contemporary western culture, the latter years of the 20th century and the expressions of postmodern culture, although several episodes in the cultural history of the whole century will be studied historically. Advertising, television, music videos, movies, literature, music etc. will be discussed. Theoretical tools will be introduced from the foundations of intermedia studies, cultural sociology, hermeneutics and semiotics. Several examples will be presented for analysis and discussion.
