Om kursen
The purpose of this course is to introduce students to the field of Media and Communication Studies. At the heart of this field is a concern with the relationship between media and the broader social, cultural, and political worlds in which they operate. The course introduces students to both classic theories central to the field, and contemporary perspectives that challenge and build on this body of work. The course aims to introduce students to both the historical trajectory of the field and to key themes in contemporary empirical and theoretical debates that animate the field today; and to offer an entry into critical, independent engagement with research in the field.
