  1. Globalisation, Culture and Lifestyle SeminarFive:Culture and Stratification: high and low culture

  2. Assignment One Steger (2003:73) highlights a range of ‘pessimistic’ views of globalisation which characterise such processes as leading to ‘a soulless consumer capitalism that is rapidly transforming the world’s diverse populations into a blandly uniform market’. Drawing upon the appropriate context for your subject programme, critically discus the extent to which this assertion can be considered valid. Focus on Disney 2,000 words

  3. Key Lessons from the Lecture Culture can be broken down into ‘high’ and ‘low’ forms High culture is seen to be the best that a civilisation can offer while low culture is seen to be mass and populist McConnacie (1988) suggests a three stage process for the development of high culture Links to Bourdieu’s (1986) notions of cultural capital and distinction Postmodernity delegitimizes high culture?

  4. Seminar Tasks Critically discuss the contention that popular culture reflects the worst of the human condition. Critically discuss the extent to which notions of distinction and domination are apparent via event consumption.
