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. They are not an outside influence; they are part of the culture that surrounds us and therefore of whom we are. This course provides a widescreen, interdisciplinary framework for the analysis of our complex relationship with film and other media. It will introduce students to a range of theoretical approaches to the study of film, media and culture, and their application to specific texts, situations and events.
| Objectives | On successful completion of this course, students will be able to: 1. Recognise the theoretical, conceptual and methodological bases for the study of film, media, and culture. 2. Analyse the roles of film and media in a culture and in individual lives. 3. Illustrate how film and the media represent important aspects of contemporary culture. |
