UTCOM 200 - Global Media Cultures

Institution:

The University of Tampa

Subject:

Description:

Global Media Cultures explores how people living in Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, and beyond produce and consume media in both immediate (local) and distributed (global) contexts. Drawing from a (once more, global) range of written texts that reckon with the political, economic, and technological constraints and affordances of media, communication, and culture around the world, students will watch complementary popular forms of entertainment in order to understand how these artifacts process and document the human experience, as well as the meanings they express to audiences, whether these audiences are domestic, diasporic, or transnational. Engaging with and writing about these materials, the class is structured to radiate outward, from media-specific to nationally-specific considerations, and then beyond, to transnational and finally global media convergence.
