This course looks at how culture is understood and supported in the United States and abroad. Students will explore elements of cultural policy including private versus public support, issues of audience and cultural heritage, censorship and repression, globalization and the hybridization of culture. We examine a broad range of art forms including collecting and presenting institutions, creative industries, and web-based art forms. Students will select and study an individual country in-depth while developing expertise in issues of cultural policy. Examine debates and policy formation around cultural identity, colonial occupations and looting, and restitution, which continue to be key cultural topics in the 2020s.
