MIT faculty present a series of Summer Programs designed to help professionals keep pace with developments in their fields. One such program this year is: 30.17s: Ninja Turtles, the Macho King and Madonna's Navel: Taking Popular Culture Seriously--presented by SCREEN-L's own Henry Jenkins. Date: 6-10 June 1994 Tuition: $1,050 This seminar is designed for teachers who hope to address issues of popular culture in their classrooms, for scholars who want a good overview of basic work in Cultural Studies, and for laypersons who desire a better grasp of the many roles that popular culture plays in our everyday lives. Sessions will combine screenings and close examinations of specific works, genre and performers with an overview of broader theoretical questions concerning the cultural status, ideology, audience and aesthetics of popular culture.
