Total Teaching Hours for Semester:45
No of Lecture Hours/Week:3
Max Marks:100
Credits:3
Course Objectives/Course Description
Moving from land to ocean marks a shift in our understanding with fluidity as the focal point. ‘Blue Humanities’ or ‘Blue Cultural Studies’ uses the ocean as the lens to foreground diverse historical, social, cultural, economic and political aspects. The expansive field of Blue Humanities adopts a multidisciplinary approach, weaving together insights from environmental studies, oceanography, marine studies, cultural studies, film studies, history, etc. The course specifically focuses on revisiting the cliched conceptualization of the ocean as vast, alien, terra nullis and ahistorical. The ‘Oceanic Turn’ transitions from the surface to the depths below to explore the three-dimensional ocean through socio-cultural representations. Reading the ocean and the sea through cinema from across the world will help understand how the ocean is portrayed in myriad ways ‘foregrounding and problematizing issues connected to gender, race, pollution, social justice, maritime activities, privatization, globalization, capitalism ontologies’ to revisit our established thought regimes.
Course Outcome
CO1: ? Appreciate and interpret the ocean in the light of Blue Humanities
CO2: ? Analyze and understand the changing relationships between societies and the ocean through the cinematic representations

Total Teaching Hours for Semester:45
No of Lecture Hours/Week:3
Max Marks:50
Credits:3
Course Objectives/Course Description
Course Description
Gender is accepted as a discourse which is constantly produced, performed and sustained by multiple narratives. Hegemonic ideologies are thus mapped onto the body and played out through continuous reinforcements. Popular Culture plays a significant role in perpetuating gender stereotypes, images of ideal bodies and normative forms of gender expression by way of legitimising what is “popular”, therefore acceptable. An interdisciplinary course in Gender and Popular Culture provides critical insights into who and what defines the popular on the one hand, while also underlining how Popular Culture itself becomes a resistant counter-narrative to hegemonic master narratives.
Course Objectives:
Define Popular Culture and outline its significance in Gender Studies with a historical overview
Underline the impact of performative elements of popular culture on the body, thereby on gender performativity
Help students recognize how hegemonic ideologies are narrativised through language, the gaze, and structural elements of the text/ media
Enable close inter-textual readings of gender in multiple popular culture narratives including fiction, oral and performance narratives, visual media such as film, television, advertisements and social media
Recognize Popular Culture as a counter-narrative and highlight elements of resistance through language, form and narrative technique
Course Outcome
CO 1: Enumerate ways in which popular culture impacts construction and performance of gender
CO 2: Identify elements in Popular Culture which normalize gender stereotypes and normative gender expression
CO 3: Map out significant counter-narratives of Gender which have emerged through Pop Culture in response to normative constructions of masculinity, femininity and queer
