ANTH 3390 - tv And Pop Culture in us

Institution:

Fordham University

Subject:

Description:

The course examines the political nature of television production in the United States today. Globalization, empire building, and warfare have made television appear as the most democratic medium, for entertainment and education. However, for many authors, particularly Noam Chomsky, television is the single most powerful element in constructing new forms of "democratic" oppression that are successful because their explicit entertainment quality hides aspects of coercive control and a "big brother" syndrome. The course will explore many of these ideas of domination and ressitence through the analysis of popular programs. 4.000 Credit Hours 3.000 Lecture hours 0.000 Lab hours 0.000 Other hours Levels: Undergraduate, Post Baccalaureate Schedule Types: Lecture Undergraduate Colleges College Sociology and Anthropology Department
