Cultures The Open University UK

Overview

How are cultures produced and encountered, and why does it matter? 

These questions are examined in this module through the key themes of place, power, literary ‘classics’, and journeys. 

In this Cultures module from The Open University UK you'll learn about contemporary cultures and relationships between cultures throughout history, discover how and why cultural identities emerge, and explore how they are expressed using texts, images and objects. 

After exploring a range of case studies from classical studies, art history, English literature, and creative writing, you'll investigate these themes with specific reference to your choice of one of these subject areas.
