HI299S: Cold War Culture (Fall 2026)
About The Position
From the Space Race to James Bond: Politics, Propaganda and Pop Culture in the Cold War. The Cold War between Communist and Capitalist nations never boiled over into a direct armed conflict. Yet cultural historians have argued that the Cold War was as much a conflict about each side’s culture and way of life as it was about military intervention. Studying cultural flashpoints such as the race to the moon, Cold War sports, the lavender scare, Soviet film propaganda, and outlandish PsyOps, this course will explore how politics and culture informed one another in this moment. We will interrogate how the politics of this era shaped cultural worlds across continents, and how the Cold War reverberates in our cultural memories today.
