Course Credit: 1
Maximum Credit: 0
(COMS)
TRANSNATIONAL APPROACHES ON MEDIA & FILM This course explores a variety of the key concepts, debates and theoretical approaches to media and film studies which problematize the idea of ‘national’ and ‘world’ cinemas. The developing area of transnational media and film criticism engages with the shifting dynamics of global distribution and reception, and analyses the changes in media and film language, theme and form. The course will begin with a reflection about globalization, identities and local cultures and their tensions with the constitution of a global culture. Then, it will focus on transnational and global approaches and theoretical frameworks to examine media and film texts. In addition, the impact of how new media technologies have shaped cultural identities and audience are examined within the context of several case studies.
