| Sociology 173a/b Problems in Mass Society |
|
This course provides general coverage of the literature and issues related to the notion of mass society, updated in terms of current conceptions of late-modern (or postmodern) society. This perspective is applied to three institutions that have come to dominate contemporary society (popular culture, education, and the media), with an emphasis on how mass production, mass marketing, and mass consumption have penetrated these institutions. |
| Antirequisites: The former Sociology 171F/G, 246. |
