1. To provide a systematic overview of major 20th and 21st century critical schools and theoretical approaches, which are key for an advanced understanding of how to read and analyse creative, cultural and media artefacts such as fiction, non-fiction, poetry, drama, film, video games and other new media texts.
2. To examine creativity theory and knowledge-generating activities in relation to media, culture, and creative artefacts.
3. To provide the opportunity for students to critically consider the role and significance of creativity within an academic context and to analyse its role in generating knowledge.
4. To provide a forum for the wider discourse about current research in media, culture, and creativity, and give students wider exposure to the many types of research and approaches influencing the creative industries and creative studies.

Students will be given the opportunity to study, discuss and close-read seminal readings from the canon of critical literature and apply them to creative, cultural and media artefacts.
