See CRICOS-registered alternativesWhat is culture? How do individuals and societies make meaning? Does culture shape social life, or does social life shape culture? In this subject, you will be introduced to sociological perspectives on culture, with a particular focus on how meaning is constructed individually and socially. We begin by exploring popular cultural forms – art, literature, music, film and television – before examining the influence of traditional and new media. You will learn about cultural production and consumption in the digital age, and how technology shapes our social worlds. We then consider how culture and meaning are embedded in every aspect of our lives. By exploring a range of topics, from happiness and love to memory, therapy talk and collective trauma, you will discover how meaning functions as a central driving force for individuals, communities, and societies.
