New perspectives in understanding contemporary Chinese and global culture

Cultural Studies helps students better understand contemporary Chinese and global culture. Students examine closely various texts, including films, literature, theatrical performances, popular music, advertisements, space and even the Web. They analyse a diverse range of issues and topics that are related to contemporary culture, such as travel, body politics, modernity, the city, gender, technoscience, consumer culture, visual culture, youth culture, globalisation and cultural policy.

A Platform for Critical Thinkers

The programme is particularly strong in training students to analyze texts contextually, studying both elite and popular cultures critically. This cultivates in students an acute cultural sensibility - an expertise that is highly valued by many professional sectors of contemporary society.
