Designed to interrogate the impact of various forms of media on “society” and various notions of society on “media.” Students consider conventional and unconventional media in Britain – from the London Times to movies to fashion magazines – in an effort to interpret British culture. The key question is not “Is this text ‘good’?” but “What does this text mean?”
Note: Students majoring in Journalism and Mass Communication (CAS) or Communication Studies (EDU) may take this course and E59.1400.099, Media, Culture and Globalization for credit in the major.
