Course Objectives: | This course aims to provide a critical and an intertextual perspective to the study of media and media products. It also aims to raise students' awareness about the contemporary world system that they live in through the discussion of media. |
The students who have succeeded in this course; 1. Gain the ability to think critically 2. Gain the ability to explore the economy-politics of media; 3. Can explore different ways of storytelling in media and understand the relationship between narration and the user/viewer/reader; 4. Can evaluate media products through diffferent theories; 5. Will be able to create media products in the context of different theories and put into practice theoretical knowledge |
This course focuses on the relationship between media and society. Media products and different ways of storytelling, the economy politics of media and media users/audiences are discussed in relation with the concepts of self, identity, power, memory and reality. Following the introduction of the main concepts in media studies, media products are both produced and discussed in relation with different theories such as semiotics, structuralism, post-structuralism and reception theory. |
