Course Description

This course provides an overview of empirical, analytical, and theoretical knowledge on the interaction between Islam and the notions of state and power. The course combines historical, sociological, and anthropological approaches in order to provide students with a concrete knowledge of Islam as a religion and as a matrix of a series of political thoughts that are both sophisticated and different from Western European and North American models. Through practical and empirical case studies, the course engages an advanced reflection on the theoretical models and systematic political rationalities carried by ideologies driven by the values and history of Islam.

Course Description
This course gives students keys to understand the contemporary international pop-culture, its sources, stereotypes, typical scenarios, stories, characters and the role of Europe, USA, and Japan in shaping it. It focuses on the mutual influences between video games, comics, animation, movies, TV shows, and novels. The conceptual background is pragmatic sociology and ethnology. The ethnological conception of culture is key, though the class does not focus on theory. The class first presents a typology of medias and imaginaries of pop-culture. In the second part, it offers a selective history of pop-culture focusing on the emergence of the elements that now form the mainstream pop-culture.
