Introduction to Studying Mass Culture

Ffeithiau’r Modiwl

Rhedir gan School of Arts, Culture and Language

20.000 Credydau neu 10.000 Credyd ECTS

Semester1

Trefnydd: Dr Gregory Frame

Amcanion cyffredinol

This module will introduce theoretical understandings of contemporary popular culture. It equips students with the skills necessary to analyse and critique these theories by applying them to specific forms: film, television, radio, newspapers and magazines, books, advertising, music and games. It asks students to critically engage with, explore and critique a range of mass cultural forms and practices. The module is particularly concerned with the impact of digital technologies – specifically, the internet – on these forms of mass culture. This module will provide students with a broad theoretical frame to help understand the media and popular culture, as well as an introduction to the research methods and study skills relevant to the study of this area.

Cynnwys cwrs

Intro to Studying Mass Culture focuses on media developments paying attention to traditional media forms such as film, TV, radio and print media and on to digital media forms. The essence of this module is to consider the impact of media on society and the ways in which they have altered or affected society. This requires us to consider: how media affect the way we live, how we as people interact and communicate, what we make, how we experience places, and more broadly how changes in media positively and negatively make a difference in the world.

More formally, this module addresses: affordances of a range of media forms, interrelationships between technology and society, political economy, identity and community, production, dissemination and ownership, communication and interaction, privacy, and the ideological implications of networked mediated culture in a co-creative media age.
