...Bryant University LCS270 Introduction to Cultural Studies, Fall 2012 T,Th 2:00-3:15 Professor Elizabeth Walden Office: Suite C, #226, x6332 ewalden@bryant.edu Office Hours: T, Th 12:00-2:00, 3:30-4:00, Course Description “Culture” is one of the most complicated words in the English language. It refers to world cultures, the whole way of life of a people, as well as great works of art and literature, and even the ordinary artifacts and practices of modern life like skateboarding and instant-messaging. Cultural Studies is an interdisciplinary field that inquires into the meaning and significance of “culture” in its various contemporary forms and considers what is at stake, socially, politically and culturally in its various meanings. It asks, what is culture and how has it changed over time? What is the relation of culture to politics, the economy and structures of power? What is the relevance of culture to our everyday lives? What is popular culture and is it good for us? It addresses these questions not to give definitive answers but to engage the students in critical inquiry into the culture(s) in which they are embedded. As should be evident, LCS 270 is not an introduction to anthropology or global cultures. Rather, it is an introduction to methods of reading, interpreting and creating cultural texts in relation to broad political, ideological and historical contexts. The course understands "text" in the broadest of terms: any form of cultural production...

We will cover the basic concepts, theories, and methods that anthropologists use to study variations in cultural norms and social practices, economic systems and rules of law, social organization and patterns of inequality, identity and worldview, and patterns of social and cultural change. Focusing on the culture concept and the method of ethnography, we begin with the historical foundations of anthropology and then follow its attempts to understand contemporary human cultures. Comparative analysis of multiple ethnographic case studies and major theoretical approaches illuminates the range of human diversity, the forces that shape cultures, and how people adapt to a rapidly changing modern world. The central objectives of this course are to develop your intellectual skills, your cross-cultural fluency, and your sense of civic and moral engagement in global society. I hope that this course inspires many of you to become anthropology majors or minors, and grants each of you an anthropological perspective on your own life. REQUIREMENTS This is an intensive course that requires full participation from every student...

...Entrepreneur ambidexterity Ambidexterity = the ability both to explore and “search for new, useful adaptions”, and exploit through “the use and propagation of known adaptions”. This is vital to the survival and performance of organizations. Firms should maintain a balance between exploration and exploitation. There has been scant attention to what makes an individual ambidexterious. Several reasons warrant the examination of entrepreneur ambidexterity in small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs): 1. Small business have limited resource endowments. Since exploration and exploitation compete for scarce resources, attention and organizational routines, the situation is likely to heighten the paradoxes facing entrepreneurs. 2. Most SMEs are owned and managed by one individual or a very small group of individuals: the owner-manager makes virtually all the strategic decisions. Ambidexterity: 1. Literally: the ability to use both hands with equal ease. 2. In management: used to refer to an organization’s ability to do two seemingly paradoxical things simultaneously: * To explore and exploit * Be efficient and be flexible * Align and adapt Distinction between exploration and exploitation (March): * Exploration: includes things like research, variation, risk-taking, experimentation, play, flexibility, discovery, innovation. * Exploitation: includes thing like improvement, choice, production, efficiency, implementation, execution...
