Content
This unit concentrates on globalisation and its impact on the popular cultures in Indonesia. As a background, students will be presented with some major models of globalisation, before examining popular cultures in Indonesia. This unit will explore the ongoing interaction between globalisation and local and national cultures within Indonesia and its Diaspora, analysing the extent to which this has shaped forces of nationalism, authoritarianism, Islamisation and democratisation. Popular cultures to be examined include television, film, advertising, popular music, literature and cyberculture media.
