Isi artikel

This article on a proposed undergraduate cultural studies curriculum at Vista University (Soweto, South Africa) reflects also on the potential of the subject to analyse and transform its social and educational contexts. Special attention is paid here to outlining the specific economic, political, social and cultural conditions of the national and institutional contexts for this proposed course. Then the aims and shape of the course itself is outlined. Courseplanners hope that the course will provide a crucial and critical space for reflection upon and engagement both by teachers and students with the social and educational transformation of post-apartheid South Africa. The multigeneric epistemologies of cultural studies will, it is proposed, help counter discrete disciplinary teaching hardened under apartheid conditions and enable students to rethink culture and cultural policy.
