Link NY Times piece on 25-year-old Chinese blogger Mu Zimei, whose sexually explicit first-person accounts have generated controversy and celebrity for the former magazine columnist. Snip: What changed everything was her decision in April to start her own online blog at a new Chinese site for personal diaries. She said she thought it would be fun. While writing her magazine column, she had hopped from man to man, sometimes hopping to two men at once, sometimes hopping to married men. Her topics, though, remained more thematic than explicit. But in her online diary, she began writing explicitly about these encounters, or those of her friends, and on July 26 described her brief and apparently unsatisfying liaison outside a restaurant with a famous guitarist in a Guangzhou rock band. The entry was posted at a popular online discussion board, spread among China's "netizens" like wildfire and was quickly picked up in the gossipy newspapers that feed China's growing celebrity culture. Eventually, she was featured in China's edition of Cosmopolitan magazine.

http://www.kent.ac.uk/sspssr/undergrad/introduction.htm

Extractions: School of Social Policy, Sociology and Social Research We live at a time of intense controversy about an alleged 'dumbing down' of culture, with suggestions that we are brainwashed by the mass media and fed a diet of trivia, so that the quality of our lives and our capacity to act as responsible citizens is being seriously diminished. Are these claims true? Why are they being made now? And is it significant that controversies of this kind have occurred, at times, over the whole period of the development of 'popular culture', since the 18th Century? In investigating issues such as this, Cultural Studies has become a challenging academic subject, creating a distinctive perspective on modern culture, along with modes of analysis that go across traditional disciplinary boundaries, making use of both traditional academic sources but equally of material that has often been ignored, such as popular fiction, soap opera, horror films, TV ads, magazines, pop music, and, increasingly, the Internet. Drawing on such an eclectic range of cultural material enables us to develop new perspectives on such things as identity formation, cultural practices and the politics of culture; we can examine how, gender, ethnicity and sexuality are caught up with media representations; we can examine how culture and technology shape our ideas of reality.

Extractions: Introduction This website is concerned with developing two related ideas: First, factors such as Gender, Class, Race, Geography, Religion, Age and Technology can be understood as cultural processes and relations . These cultural processes shape Human Behaviour in many complex and, often, unpredictable ways. Second, these same cultural processes shape the way we understand Human Behaviour. That is to say, what we might understand as normal and abnormal, natural and unnatural, deviant and delinquent Human Behaviour are things to be argued over; and these arguments will be influenced by various cultural processes intersecting in complex ways. As Judith Bessant and Rob Watts argue, HB can be characterised by their indeterminancy Anthony Giddens, a British sociologist, argues that:

This organization was founded to help solve the problems of the elderly who were often discarded after a life-time of productive or reproductive labor. It is concerned with social security, medical care, housing, nutrition and well being of elderly people. It is now the biggest union in the USA with over 40 million members. Of late, it has expanded its concerns to include children and women's needs. In so far as it calls for government support of social justice programs, it has become a serious problem for Republicans. Abortion: The process by which a pregnancy is terminated, usually within three months of conception. This activity has aroused great debate and much direct social action to prevent it. Many people argue that every life is sacred and that to abort a fetus is the same as murder. Many people believe that such activity is a matter of private concern to be decided in terms of the circumstances in which the mother and/or the father find themselves. Some countries provide abortion on demand at very low fees; other countries forbid it entirely. Some see abortion as a major device for birth control while others see it as a way to avoid collective care for unborn children. See birth control/'over' population for more things to consider. Abuse, Child: The use of force against a child to force it to obey and comply to rules or orders of adults. Often a polite synonym for child rape. It can include psychological acts which distress a child greatly.

More Information What is Cultural Studies? The study of literature, music, film, television, shopping malls, sports events, cartoons, etiquette manuals, bear-baiting, minstrel shows, and more. Cultural studies looks at all these things and the theories that help us understand their historical and cultural significance: marxism, feminism, poststructuralism, psychoanalysis, queer theory, post-colonial theory, and race and ethnic studies. For example, our students have written on such topics as cyberpunk and environmentalism, cartoons from Japanese American internment camps during WWII, and contemporary novels, existentialism, and death. While cultural studies scholars study many things, they share a commitment to interdisciplinarity, contextualization, and social and political engagement. Our Cultural Studies Program is a track of the MA degree in literature. Students in this program are introduced to major theoretical influences in a seminar on "The Theory and Practice of Cultural Studies," delve into a specific topic in the "Seminar in Cultural Studies," and choose from other advanced courses in literature, criticism, and theory. They also select relevant courses in other disciplines such as women's studies, anthropology, geography, history, sociology, philosophy, modern languages, political science, and mass communications. At the culmination of their degree, they develop an independent research project.

http://www.soci.canterbury.ac.nz/discipline/anthropology/anthprogramme.shtml

Extractions: Scholarships and Grants Anthropologists characteristically adopt a perspective that seeks interconnections between things, and their explanations tend to be holistic, placing social phenomena in their full context. Because of this, anthropologists cut across the disciplinary boundaries of other subjects, and often question conventional wisdom. The first introductory course in anthropology at Canterbury was taught in 1998 by staff on campus who had anthropology training. A full under- and post-graduate programme in anthropology was approved in July 2000, and undergraduate courses are now offered at all three undergraduate levels. New staff are being appointed, and an Honours programme in anthropology has been introduced in 2003. With there being no separate department of anthropology, courses are organised and administered from within the School of Sociology and Anthropology. Studying anthropology Students enrolled in anthropology courses can expect to learn about culture and society through a study of the wide variety of ways in which people around the world live, but also through an appreciation of what humans have in common and of the fundamentals on which social life is based.

Extractions: Sociology 626: Exploring How Culture Constrains Action Ann Swidler, Provost's Distinguished Visiting Lecturer March 25-28, 1996, 9:00-11:00, 131 Decio Course Description This mini-course, which is open to faculty and graduate students from all departments, focuses on the question of how culture constrains action. It explores the different things that fall under the general rubric of "culture," how different cultural components might affect action differently, and what circumstances might intensify or weaken cultural effects on action. We will explore contrasting images of culture as shaping the internal equipment actors carry with them ("habitus," styles, skills, values) versus as constraining action from the outside. Finally, we examine culture as practices to see whether cultural practices (in contrast to cultural ideas, accounts, or symbols) constrain action in distinctive ways.

Two sections of Soc 4597 are provided each semester so that students might find a convenient way to register for and meet the requirements of an internship. Section 1 makes it possible to register through the regular "day school" process. Section 2 makes it possible for students to enroll in Soc 4597 through Continuing Education (CE). The sections both have the same meeting times and expectations. Students are required to successfully complete one internship of seven (7) credits during one semester. Students are expected to initiate the internship application process by enrolling in and successfully completing Soc 4587. Students are to enroll in Soc 4587 with at least One Semester but not more than Two Semesters between that semester and the semester that the student expects to enroll in Soc 4597.

Umberto Eco, Travels in Hyperreality The Sociology of Popular Culture is a serious exploration of the development and social significance of various non-elite cultural forms in the U.S., such as rock music, television entertainment, and paperback novels. Topics will include: the development of the distinction between "highbrow" and "lowbrow" culture in the closing decades of the 19th century, the role of popular cultural forms in ethnic and other subcultures, the role of gender differences in popular culture, and recent theories and debates about the relation of culture and society.

http://www.spc.uchicago.edu/ssr1/PRELIMS/Culture/cumisc1.html

Extractions: Imagined Communities Chapter 1: Introduction Nationality, nation-ness, and nationalism are cultural artifacts whose creation toward the end of the 18th C was the spontaneous distillation of a complex ''crossing'' of discrete historical forces; but that, once created, they became ''modular,'' capable of being transplanted to a great variety of social terrains, to merge and be merged with a variety of political and ideological constellations. Theorists of nationalism have encountered three paradoxes: (1)The objective modernity of nations in the eye of the historian vs. their subjective antiquity in the eye of nationalists. (2) The formal universality of nationality as a socio-cultural concepts vs. the particularity of its concrete manifestations. (3) The political power of nationalism vs. its philosophical poverty. In order to address some of these problems, Anderson proposes the following definition of nationalism: it is an imagined political community that is imagined as both inherently limited and sovereign. It is imagined because members will never know most of their fellow-members, yet in the minds of each lives the image of their communion. It is limited because it has finite, though elastic boundaries beyond which lies other nations. It is sovereign because it came to maturity at a stage of human history when freedom was a rare and precious ideal. And it is imagined as a community because it is conceived as a deep, horizontal comradeship.

Extractions: High and Low Culture. Conflict theorists, unlike their consensus counterparts, tend to argue that all modern societies consist of the appearance of a common culture, shared by everyone in society, which masks the reality of competing cultural forms. Marxist Conflict theorists in particular have argued that every society consists of social classes defined in terms of whether they own or do not own the means of economic production in society (in simple terms, society ultimately consists of two great classes: The bourgeoisie (or upper and middle classes) who own and control the means of producing economic survival (they own factories, businesses and the like) and In this sense, each of these two classes have very different interests and experiences in society. The bourgeoisie, for example, are the wealthiest (minority) in society whose interests lie in hanging-on to their privileged position. The proletariat, consisting of the least wealthy majority, have according to Marxists the common interest of taking away the wealth of the bourgeoisie. As can be imagined, the relationship between these two great classes is built upon a fundamental conflict of interest. For Marxists, therefore, the bourgeoisie have two main problems in terms of their relations with other social classes:
