先修課程
課程簡介 This interdisciplinary course examines the development of the United States in a global context, from colonial outpost to empire. Surveying events over the past 500 years, the course considers the changes in American values and lives in a historical context (as manifested in social institutions and social movements), the diverse cultures that have created the American social fabric, as well as some aspects of role the U.S. has played in the 20th century history and culture. Employing an American studies methodology the course draws from different disciplines (history, literature, sociology and media studies) and investigates the extraordinary sweep of US cultures through several units: discovery and conquest, slavery and capitalism, wars and imperialism, globalization and mass culture. The course uses social and analytical categories such as race, ethnicity, class, gender and sexuality in order to explore several contact zones, social spaces where ideologies and cultural values meet, clash, and negotiate their borders. It introduces students to various types of primary materials (such as political speeches, historical documents, newspaper articles, films, ads, songs) and to different American studies methods of reading and analyzing such material.
