  • COMM 2090: Theories of Communication

    3.00 Credits
    Manhattanville College

    Required for a communication studies major, this course considers key models of communication before surveying theoretical aspects of information, perception, persuasion, and also interpersonal, intercultural, nonverbal, small group and political communication. In studying mass media, we contrast the social science-based "process" school with more languagebased systems such as semiotics. We consider how media operate and audiences respond, introducing cultivation analysis, cultural studies, issues in new media communication, and the social construction of class, race, and gender. Various texts provide examples, with in-class exercises in interpersonal dynamics and media analysis, and outside projects applying theories to advertising. Prerequisite: COMM 1001 ( Fall)
