CLASS 2.4
Class in the Classroom
• The 1980’s teen film and class…why?
• Context and genre coincide
• High school: “teen” antagonisms are alibis for class conflict
• Class as inheritance: parent culture
• Class: a feature of adolescence
• “character”: the only real obstacle
• emphasis on self-actualization, on the personal
Ex. Ferris Bueller’s Day Off
On the Road (Again)…
• obsessive itineraries
• driving, cars: vehicles of movement and change
• the traversal of space and time
• “visionary” rebellion and cultural critique
• suspicious dillusionment and alienation
“The Politics of Recognition”
• the early-1990’s context… “multiculturalism”
• are there “universally shared interests”?
• or, do governments need to recognize/respect “cultural particularities”
• Universalism or Particularism
