Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

(Why) Does television matter? In this class we will discuss key texts at the crossroads of cultural studies and Television Studies and ask about the array of cultural politics that surround this unstable cultural form and its study. With a focus on the US and the UK, we will address the continuities and disruptions from early television up to contemporary streaming practices, and address television as contingent cultural practice, as system of representation, as object, and as industry.
Students will develop skills for analyzing televisual texts and their contexts in terms of meaning making processes and power relations along the intersections of class, gender, race, and nation.
