Heisser, C.
Whether a “Picture Bride,” “Princess Bride,” “Runaway Bride,” or “Father of the Bride,” or with “Wedding Planners” or “Wedding Crashers,” the wedding is a human cultural event, an imagined community that crosses global borders. In the United States, wedding production fuels a multi-billion dollar industry. Although this socio-economic phenomenon is taking hold in other regions of the world, traditional wedding customs persist in spite of, or at times, in response to the patterns and trends of global communication and economic globalization. This course will examine the social and cultural history of the modern wedding in a comparative global context. Note: Course will be canceled if there are fewer than six (6) paid students enrolled as of Monday, July 7.
