With a particularly strong focus on film, this course will introduce students to different theoretical and practical perspectives on the role and power of media in society. Starting with theoretical input on the definitions of media, aspects of media history, media theory and media analysis, we will move on to closely study film sequences of popular British blockbusters, such as James Bond, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and others. In addition, students will learn about the basics of film and TV studies such as film narrative, cinematic techniques, approaches to contextual interpretation and genre analysis. We will also include other forms of media, such as printed text and digital products, into our critical discussions. Ultimately, this course aims to sharpen our consciousness for the social and cultural functions of media, and how media influences political beliefs, identities, and behaviours.
Reading texts and/or watching films in preparation for each class is mandatory. To gain credits for this course, students will have to prepare a discussion of a course topic and do a graded case study (group work) which they will have to present in class. Please note: To participate in this course, students must register before the beginning of term.
