Nguyet Erni. This course attempts to explore this question: in the (re)turn to both distributive and recognition justice, how will cultural studies and communication critically articulate with human rights as a global professional, interdisciplinary, and humanitarian practice In this course, we shall consider the conditions of possibility, theoretically as well as strategically, for overcoming the apparent non-correspondence between culture/communication and rights, or between culture/communication and the law. Special attention will be made to the rigorous development of cultural studies in the "inter-Asian" context over the past dozen years. The contested particularisms associated with inter-Asia with respect to the study of rights will raise crucial questions about the geopolitics of the circulation of rights discourse in global terms.

Curran. The course begins by considering alternative normative approaches to understanding the role of the media in society, as suggested in history, sociology, culture studies and democratic theory. It then considers what influences journalism, and how recent changes in the organisation and practice of journalism are affecting the welfare of society. This is followed by an equivalent examination of what influences television drama and film. The implications of recent developments are explored through two case studies: first, /Sex and the City/, examined partly in relation to debates within feminism and post-feminism, and second, the/Sopranos/, assessed in relation to competing interpretations of cultural value. The course's conspectus is then broadened to take account of the way in which different countries organise their media systems, and the underlying objectives and assumptions that inform national media policies. This leads, in turn, to a discussion of media globalisation, cultural imperialism' and international media regulation; and of the policy choices posed by the rise of new media.
