Hello readers!
Welcome to my world. Here in this blog I am going to share my experience and understanding of cultural studies. In this fruitful workshop we got chance to know about cultural studies and it's various key points.She is the highly passionate teacher and an edu-entrepreneur. Her style to explain each and every point with example is wonderful.She came from Trivandrum, Kerala. She do her Phd on children cinema in Canada.
As part of activity, we have to explain several questions that is asked by sir. That all questions are given below.
⭐What is your understanding about the concept of cultural studies ?
Before the session I am not able to speak confidently about what is Cultural studies but after the session I think I had cleared concept about it. Cultural studies is about studying human nature and culture, that is the study of us. Culture is related to our society. If look at how Culture change then we can say that culture transforms in individual experience, social realities, power relations. Also we can say that cultural studies deals Culture as part of everyday Life. Cultural studies innovative interdisciplinary field of research and teaching.
⭐How would you explain a layman about cultural studies ?
Earlier the word culture belongs to only the high class or sophisticated but new revival in cultural studies emphasis more on ordinary people. As Matthew Arnold mentioned that 'Culture is study is about perfection'. And also culture is talk about elite and high class people now time in the beginning of the culture studies in which we find that the layman frist.So there were first theorist who belongs to Frankfurt School are like...
Max Horkheimer,
Theodor Adorno,
Erich Fromm,
Herbert Marcuse,
Walter Benjamin,
Leo Lowenthal.
We can not say that layman don't have culture but they also have culture and rituals.
⭐How many examples from the session were so catchy that you will never forget it ? What about it.
Kalyani Vallath ma'am taught us with example that through we easily get understand the theory or the things. When she gave an example that time the image create in our mind and that through we understand the theory perfectly.
How Culture transforms in individual experience, for this understanding ma'am gave her on example that is she realized in flite way to Singapore. When she asked for food then she chooses the Asian food. And then she got very different types of food. That she can't eat. So that through ma'am said that how this experience through my thinking has changed because she thinks that Asian food means like Indian food. How Culture is differentiate us. So the individual experience transforms our mentality.
Another example is about cloth in which madam talk about how people judge women in ground of her dressing style.If women wear 'Sari ' then she is very devoted and genuine women. But if one woman who denies to wear sari and choose other dresses then that is the big crime. Society look her in a 'different' way.
Thank you ....
