| This course is focused on a single final project, to be completed in stages throughout the semester. The project asks each student to choose a country from South America, Africa, the Middle East, or Asia (excluding Japan) and study the effects of globalization on its native popular culture since 1945. The final phase of the project involves the creation of a detailed PowerPoint. The PowerPoint should include, after your title slide, the following elements: A brief summary of the national popular culture(s) of your country of choice up to 1945. An explanation of major changes to the country’s popular culture(s) since that point, including clear analyses to reveal how those changes relate to globalization and its effects on national popular culture. You should use specific examples of popular culture here (including film, literature, etc). An exploration of examples of resistance to globalization, if applicable to your chosen country. An analysis on the current state of the country, including its place in the global village, the status of its national popular culture(s) (how much has it changed and retained its distinctiveness), and the extent to which you believe the country is or is not part of a more global popular culture today. The PowerPoint should be at least 10 slides long (not including the title page or bibliographic slide). You must prepare both slides and speaker notes. The notes should be at least 150 words per slide. You may narrate the slides in lieu of speaker notes, if you prefer. Please cite your evidence within the speaker notes (or otherwise indicate the sources in the speaker notes area if you narrate) and include a final slide dedicated to references. |
