GMDS 12000. INTRODUCTION TO MEDIA AND CULTURAL STUDIES This course introduces students to the theory and practice of media studies through a critical cultural studies perspective. The media is an important part of contemporary society, shaping the way we understand the world and how we engage with others. We will examine the relationship between media institutions, texts and audiences, paying attention to the historical, cultural, political and economic contexts. Students will come to understand how power operates in the production, circulation and reception of meaning. The goal of this course is to expose students to theories, concepts and research that broaden the understanding of the role of media in the society. It will also encourage students to desire to better understand and explain the significance of media and social processes that enable and constrain media making.
