COURSE CODE A&H 102

COURSE NAME PHILIPPINE POPULAR CULTURE

PREREQUISITE NONE

COURSE CREDIT 3 Units (3 hours lecture)

COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course provides the students with critical perspectives in understanding and way of knowing popular
culture in the Philippines. The course gives emphasis on popular culture through the study of Cultural Studies with a
strong focus on culture industry; provides multi-disciplinal attention on how art can be explored in popular culture
and vice versa. This will take place by having an introductory survey on aesthetics, critical theory and art criticism.
This subject will provide students with the necessary tools of analysis on exploring the diverse forms of arts by utilizing
the everyday contexts of power, mode of production, representations and subjectivity as critical tropes. Pop Culture
will be fleshed out through mixed media culture such as visual culture, geography, cinema, music/sound, popular
prints and publications, radio and television, fashion, ads, cyberspace, experience, economy etc. and look at how these
cultural products intimate the contemporary social relations and life—specifically, the affect, feelings and senses,
corporeality, performances, space and place, technology, globalization and identities.
