Course Description
This course explores the sociological study of culture, exploring topics such as art, sport, food, religion, music, social media, and cultural memory. Students examine how culture can reproduce, organize, and challenge particular social values and structures. The course also traces the rise of cultural sociology in the late 20th century, a time when sociologists became increasingly interested in popular culture and everyday life and cultural critics began to consider the sociological context of literature, art, and film. Using these innovative studies as a framework, each week students analyze an aspect of contemporary culture and consider its sociological importance. They gain an understanding of the cultural dimensions of social life and the key theories and methods used to critically analyze cultural experience.

Course Description
What is the mind? What does it mean for the mind to malfunction? And how should it be treated when this occurs? “Minds and Madness” provides an historical over-view of responses to these questions by patients, medical practitioners, and society as a whole. Once considered the seat of the soul, the human mind has been captured by science, reduced to a brain, “a hard-wired” neural network. Metaphysical explanations of madness (theological and magical) have been superseded by scientific theories (neurological and material), thus reshaping our understanding and experience of madness. Therapies have transformed accordingly. In exploring these important issues, the course visits the spaces and places of “Minds and Madness,” including: the ship of fools, Bedlam, the asylum, the psychiatrist's couch and GPs rooms, the battlefield, the operating theatre, and the padded cell. It introduces students to a cast of thousands, including: the fool (from King Lear and elsewhere), Burton, Descartes, Locke, Pinel, Kraepelin, Cotton, Freud, Laing, Engel and Spitzer. It analyzes and critiques changing conceptions of mental diagnoses. It delves into the new world of our contemporary neurosciences. Finally, it explores how historians have made sense of this story.
