Course Description
CMO No. 25, S. 2017: This course introduces students to the wide
creative dimensions of cultural practices in East, South and
Southeast Asia with special focus on performing arts, as well as
festivals and entertainment. These particular and concrete topics
will be explored in specific ethnographic settings in relation to
‘dominant ideology’, gender, sexuality, race, social hierarchy, as well
as urban-rural differences in a rapidly changing social and political
context in Asia. In short, this course critically discusses the ways in
which popular culture is produced, consumed, transformed and
contested in specific ethnographic and geographical contexts.
