MDIA 2110 - Media Theory and Research
Focus on the schools of thought that have shaped the study of media throughout the 20th century, and the theories that have lain the foundation for media studies in the 21st century as they relate to television, radio, film, music, the Internet, and video games. Talk about these theories in relation to the contexts in which they were developed and the research methodologies that adopted them. As we appreciate the interdisciplinary nature of media studies, we will also have to consider what distinguishes our field from others: what constitutes a medium? What is communication? What is “theory” and what good is it to theorize the media?
