So many of the defining moments in our lives are accompanied by an experience with the media or have grown out of our relationship with the media. The media are a central part of how we live, work and play. This course provides an interdisciplinary framework for the analysis of our complex relationship with diverse forms of media. It will introduce you to a range of analytical approaches to the study of film, media and culture, and their application to specific texts, situations and events.
