ANT 325 - Anthropology of Media

Institution:

Centre College

Subject:

Description:

This course is a seminar on the roles played by media in culture and society, focusing on ethnographic studies of mass media production and consumption. We will examine media interactions with real people and take an anthropological approach that sees mass media as grounded in broader social contexts. From that perspective, we will look at how mass media may have a homogenizing effect on world culture, or how it can alternately exacerbate differences among groups. Topics include indigenous media, cultural globalization, reception theory, Islamic media, and online communities. Prerequisite: ANT 110 or permission of the instructor.
