Global Power and World Order University of Newcastle This course examines the institutions and processes shaping the international order and relations between states. It focuses on the development of this order, beginning with the dropping of the atomic bomb and the onset of the Cold War, and traces it through to the post-September 11 period. It discusses the role and significance of international bodies such as the United Nations, the International Criminal Court and the War Crimes Tribunals in the context of a newly emerging world order. The course also examines issues such as human rights, international justice, and the problem of terrorism in the wake of the events of September 11. It asks to what extent September 11, and its aftermath, has reshaped global power and the world order.

Youth Cultural and Risk Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, University of Newcastle Provides an understanding of contemporary youth cultures in relation to sociological theories of risk. It moves between examination of theoretical and empirical accounts of contemporary youth cultures, and concepts of risk which can be used to understand youth culture phenomena. A primary focus will be on urban youth cultures, and class and gender in Australia and other countries. The course begins by defining key terms in the study of youth culture and risk. This is followed by a coverage of significant areas of contemporary research on youth: for example, youth transitions, class, gender and race issues, media tastes and consumption, youth subcultures and peer interactions. As new studies and theoretical innovations in the field of youth studies come into the public domain they will be integrated into course content.On successful completion of this course, students will be able to: 1. Have developed a critical understanding of the way modernity, youth culture and risk have been dealt in sociology. 2. Have demonstrated an understanding of the significance of contemporary youth cultures in the global context. 3. Have gained an improved general sociological understanding through this focused study in youth culture and risk. 4. Have improved general scholarly skills regarding the presentation of well-supported argument and the communication of ideas in written and verbal form. |

POLITICS, POLICY AND GOVERNMENT University of Newcastle This course looks at the Australian state in a wider political context by examining the major changes it has undergone in the last twenty years. The course explores the major reforms to the public service and other government agencies by examining their changing relationship to government. A central question will be whether the public service has become overly politicised such that it is unable to offer the government independent advice. Case studies of specific policy issues in areas such as immigration, education, and defence (or any other topical policy area) will be used to trace the development of major government policy decisions and to explore problems of politicisation and accountability. Attention is also given to the emergence of new policy frameworks, especially economic rationalism, and their impact on these processes. |

Consumption and Everyday Life Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, University of Newcastle This course will engage with key ideas and theories of consumption and consumer culture. Drawing on contemporary theories of culture and everyday life the course will cover the diverse ways in which consumerism is analysed in contemporary social sciences. Aspects that may be covered include; theories of the consumer; identity and manufacturing choice; anthropological analysis of material culture; Globalization, McDonaldization and Disneyization; commodification of the body; commodification of nature; the politics and ethics of consumerism; the spaces and sites of consumption; the environmental and waste aspects of consumer culture; and symbolic aspects of consumer culture. The course will help students develop a better understanding of the how recent social change from a 'production' to a 'consumption' society has implications for social relations and their own reflexive identity. Upon successful completion students will be able to demonstrate: 1. An understanding of sociological approaches to consumption and consumer culture. 2. An understanding of the interplay between cultural discourses of consumption, power and the construction and maintenance of identity. 3. An understanding of the political and environmental implications of consumer culture. 4. Skills in critical analysis and evaluation of a range of sociological theories, perspectives and research. 5. A reflexive understand of how the students' own identity, opinions and tastes are created by and reflected in consumer culture. |

CULT3210 |
Music and Culture University of Newcastle Popular music remains at the heart of everyday life in many different ways. Its ability to organise, reassure, provoke, contain or anaesthetise attests to its influence within social life. This course examines some of the key debates in popular music studies, including the significant changes in popular music consumption, with, for example, the emergence of the mobile phone and TV talent show franchises as key links between contemporary youth audiences and performers. Equally, in the age of the 'mash-up', innovation in digital technologies continues to challenge prior modes of production and viability for producers in an era of industry/company integration. While these are important issues for debate, this course also emphasises effect and affectivity: the astonishing ways in which popular music moves us to different forms of expression and feeling. CULT 3120 assumes that popular music provides not only entertainment, but a common space for the personal, social and political experiences of youth. It will consider the cultural roles of music and musicians, and the ways in which music is interpreted and used by listeners in a variety of contexts. |

Cotê positions youth as having false consciousness, arguing that youth studies is too focussed on subjectivities and a potential apologist for neo-liberalism. While we acknowledge the central importance of economic considerations, this paper critically engages Cotê¿s claims while developing an approach to political economy that recognises the importance of inequalities between young people. We engage with a number of Cotê¿s claims arguing that his position underestimates the diversity of work in this area and the importance subjectivities to any analysis of political economy. We also identify a number of conceptual problems with ¿youth-as-class¿ and the ¿false consciousness¿ heuristic. We develop an alternative approach outlining a more integrative understanding of the relationship between the political and the economy highlighting the importance of subjectivity. We draw on ideas of political ecology; reflexivity and consciousness; and concepts from Bourdieu. Our approach recognises that young people's lives can be shaped by economic forces and by classed symbolic and moral forces. Young people are not passive dupes, but are in a constant reflexive struggle to respond to circumstances not always of their own making.

Concepts he developed ¿ including risk society, individualization, cosmopolitanization, subpolitics and the democratization of science ¿ are among the most cited, used and contested in contemporary sociology. In the wake of Beck¿s recent death, this review article revisits his key contributions and legacy. He proposed that a momentous shift to a new modernity has begun and challenged sociologists as to whether the concepts they use are up to the task of tracing this emerging dynamic. Provocative, Beck asked whether concepts like the nation state, family and class are functioning as ¿zombie categories¿, continuing on in sociology but no longer relevant to social experience. We argue that Beck was not denying the significance of such social factors, but setting a challenge to the discipline to show how the key concepts of sociology can be reimagined in the face of social change.
