Cultural Studies

[close] We are reading books, essays, and materials on topics regarding contemporary art studies, post-colonialism, visual culture, politics, criticism, etc. The reading group meets once a month. Our online activity is limited due to the focus on real-life interaction during the reading meetings. Conversations are usually carried on collectively during the meetings. If someone is interested to post things here for the reference it would help everyone else. The topic of each month’s reading varies based on collective interest. inside-an-airport reading group is a group of people who are gathering in Helsinki International Airport continuously. The study group is based on topics related to migration, colonialization/decolonization, subjectivity, violence, anxiety and paranoia. https://insideanairport.com/ http://www.thismightnotwork.org/reading-group/

[close] Prep for grad school and pure pleasure of ethnographic works and cultural theory

[close] This book group has been created so that we can all read and enjoy at least one nonfiction book a month. Selections will come from History, Biography, Memoirs, Cultural Studies, Women's Studies, Anthropology, African American Studies, New Age, Self Improvement, Psychology, Science and other miscellaneous groups (i.e cooking/diet/sports). And if it doesn't happen to be a 'bestseller' of some kind, it should at least be a very notable/significant/impactful book of its own caliber, or a book highly discussed in the news. ;) The best of the best, only ;). I hope all of you will join me on this journey with this book group.
