Television is the primary source for the transmission of information, politics, entertainment, and our collective and dispersed cultures in the United States, surpassing even film and newspaper because of its combined accessibility and visual appeals. Further, TV has for decades now shaped how we tell and understand stories about the worlds we live in and those we hope to live in, from notions of race and gender to presidents and child-rearing. In your aspiration to become a professional in the field of television, understanding how TV operates culturally and socially in a sophisticated manner will ultimately make you a better creative artist, producer, manager, screenwriter, etc.! We work from the premise that there is no such thing as "just TV," for certainly the industry wouldn't survive ieveryone really could care less about what they watch. Thus, we will seek to master methods of analysis that "get beneath"TV: historic and industrial, auteurism and genre, semiotics and psychoanalysis, postmodern, and ideological. 3 CREDI TS PREREQUISITES: 52-1152 WRITING AND RHETORIC II

This course examines a specific topic within the field of television, rotating the topics on a regular basis to keep the course relevant to trends and issues within television and society. Today more than ever, TV is the primary storyteller in U.S. culture, and therefore the medium raises a constant stream of issues concerning everything from representation of groups to how parents raise their children. Classes focus on providing students with in-depth examinations of TV-related topics, with an overarching emphasis on the importance of approaching television and related issues from a variety of humanistic perspectives (philosophical, industrial, historiographical, etc.) so as to enrich and complicate our understanding of both the issue and TV. 3 CREDI TS PREREQUISITES: 52-1152 WRITING AND RHETORIC II
