This module explores different aspects of culture by integrating theoretical and empirical analysis of specific issues including matters of taste, cultural classification, media, the fashion system, subcultures, bodily culture, and food practices. It aims to demonstrate the significance of these cultural issues in various sociological processes including globalisation, group formation, resistance and exclusion. The module addresses contemporary case studies, including examples from British popular culture, to discuss the usefulness of the theories and concepts covered in the lectures.
