You will find here a recording in MP3 format of the class I gave introducing cultural studies:

Here is part one

Here is part two

Keywords: podcast, mp3, university lecture, introduction to cultural studies, popular culture, University of Rouen

Powerpoint and recording : Introduction to cultural studies

The last class, on cultural studies, will not be covered in the classroom test, but may be in the final exam if it turns out to be on a British subject.


Here is the powerpoint I used.

L3 Popular Culture for the classroom test

Here are some more resources to help you revise for the classroom test.

This is the powerpoint which accompanied the class on British TV and radio.

This is the powerpoint which accompanied the class on British cinema.

Remember this classroom test is worth 12% of the total mark

Another 12% is the classroom test you did in US civilization.

36% is the final written exam you will have in either US or British civilization.

And 40% is the oral on the book list (US or GB). I am just re-reading these books, and you should be too ! you will have to comment on an extract *in the context of the book* The Engels and the Orwell, are, incidentally, available free online.

L3 Popular Culture

The Classroom test next Tuesday will be two hours long. It will consist of a short commentary and a short essay. This is a rather British way of doing things (a two hour exam often contains three forty minute essays!) and I know that in France essays are usually much longer. But if you show that you have good information and are opening up good questions, you should have no problem.

The last class and the article on cultural studies, I have decided, will not figure in this classroom test, though it may figure in the four hour exam in May, if British civilization is chosen as the subject for this exam (as you know, British or US civilization is selected at random for this exam).

Remember that in the May session you also have the orals concerning the book lists. If you have not opened these books, do it now.

The exam in May, which will either be on British or US civilisation, might be easier if you revise this page https://www.lettres-et-arts.net/notions-techniques-definitions/methode-dissertation+51
