The aim of this course is to create an awareness of different forms of media, their cultural implications and appropriate analytical and interpretive tools. We will study texts on media history and media analysis and apply this theoretical knowledge by analysing individual examples of media ‘products’.
The media case studies of this course will focus on the cultural (after)lives of one of Britain’s most (in)famous dynasties: the Tudors (1485-1603). We will trace their media histories from early modern examples (such as Hans Holbein’s portraits of Henry VIII’s court) to contemporary representations, for example the television miniseries The Tudors (2007-2010), Hilary Mantel’s novels Wolf Hall (2009) and Bring Up the Bodies (2012) and their BBC adaptation Wolf Hall (2015).
Texts:
All relevant texts will be made available on Moodle.

Putting a particularly strong focus on film studies, this course will introduce you to various aspects of media history, media theory and media analysis. We are going to discuss texts on media/film theory and criticism, and we will analyse films. We will focus on filmic negotiations of Britishness in various forms. Reading texts and watching films in preparation for each class is obligatory for all students who would like to participate in this course.
In order to gain credit for this course, students will have to do a case study (group work) which they will have to present in class.
Texts:
A pdf-reader will be made available at the beginning of the semester. |
