Deskripsi Mata Kuliah

This course aims to develop students‘ critical thinking on the dynamic interplay between popular culture and society. It analyses how cultural trends, media, space and identity forms of entertainment shape and are shaped by social values, identities, and power structures, with a focus on SDG 10 (Gender Equality) and SDG 16 (Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions). The course explores diverse popular culture texts, including film, television, music, and social media, engaging with critical perspectives on representation, ideology, consumerism, postcolonial studies, and gender studies. Teaching methods include lectures, group discussions, and peer reviews. Formative assessments will consist of group-based presentations and individual reflective journals. The summative assessment will involve a group-based project, creating a podcast series related to a popular culture phenomenon. By the end of the course, students will be able to examine how popular culture can contribute to or challenge social inequalities and critically evaluate the role of media in shaping how media representations influence public perceptions and societal norms. They will also reflect on their own engagement with popular culture and how it shapes their identity, beliefs, and values.
