This course introduces students to theories of television against the background of discussions of globalization. It approaches television as a set of institutions, technologies and texts (in flux) shaped by cultural, political and economic forces. With an eye to questions of power and social justice, we will pay attention to television’s historical evolution, its preferred genres and its political-economic modes of operation. We will address the question of “what is television now?” while exploring the relationship between television and social formations in public and private spheres including national identity, class, gender and religion. International case studies covered in the class include Australia, Europe, South Africa and the Middle East. Letter grade only.
