Course Description

This course attempts to provide an introduction to the changing cultural, political, technological and social trends of the 1980s in America – a seminal and transformative decade in American history – through an examination of its popular culture in literature, music, theater, television, film, and other associated media. Through close examination of primary sources, we will focus on the changing representations of race, gender, and class in American society, as well as investigating the effects of changing media of cultural production and their role in emerging literary and cultural styles.
