General description

The minor in Cultural Analysis allows candidates to engage on a theoretical, interdisciplinary basis with culture to acquire knowledge and skills allowing them to analyze, criticize, and read human knowledge and behavior in all possible cultural contexts. The study of cultural analysis provides an introduction to the various theoretical and historical cultural concepts, makes forms of culture and their semiotic, material, and media constitutions readable, analyzes culture in relation to social power structures that co-constitute human knowledge and action in its dimensions of meaning, and critically discusses the current global debates on the status of culture. Thanks to their theoretical and interdisciplinary engagement with culture, those completing the program are equipped to do independent intellectual work on the basis of analysis, criticism, and reading.
