ANTH 240: Youth Subcultures 5 Cr
Quarters: S
This course acquaints students with methodologies and models of analysis appropriate for studying youth subcultures. Focusing on the origins, histories, and broader cultural impact of the mod, skinhead (both anti-racist and racist variants), hippie, punk, and goth subcultures, particular attention is paid to the contention that the stylistic elements that give the subculture form, represent a response to what is going on in the greater culture. The course also explores how the meaning behind the style can change over time and via movement to new geographic and cultural locations and deals with issues concerning intergenerational conflict, identity, class-based resistance, gender, and race.
Prerequisite: Eligibility for ENGL& 101 .
