| Course Objectives: | This compulsory course for the first year phd candidates aims to introduce or review the key figures, texts, issues and debates that shape critical communication theories/studies. The texts that we will have a close look throughout the semester are the ones that have radically shifted, altered and shaped the way we do social science, cultural or communication studies after the mid 20th century. We will in general revolve around the question of language - which can never be analyzed solely through linguistics (by including visual, textual and audible languages in our discussions)-, subject (who or what is subject? Who or what is psyche? How does one become a subject? What is the role of language in it?) and power (what is power? What is its difference to ideology?)in the next couple of months. We will do close reading of the texts that are assigned for each week. Each week the course readings will be supported and enriched with the quotations of other thinkers that are largely associated with the related issues |
