[cs] Cultural Studies II - North America, Gruppe A: From Mad Men to Desperate Housewives: American TV Cultures - Einzelansicht

This course will offer critical approaches in the analysis of television and  television shows in the U.S. In the first part of this course, we will survey the historical development of television in the U.S., before we focus on the defining genres in the American TV landscape, such as sitcoms, drama shows or reality television, and investigate how the mechanisms of genre diversification function and how audiences make meaning from these programs. We will also look at some productions in detail, such as 'Friends',  'Dallas' or 'Oprah' and look at their impact on  popular culture.
