  • MS140 PO - Screening Violence

    When Offered: Fall 2018.
    Instructor(s): Staff
    Credit: 1

    The focus of this course is on representations of violence on screens and its widespread consumption. Through a range of theoretical texts and in conjunction with detailed analysis of select films and media, this course examines and debates the various, competing accounts of depicting, disseminating, and consuming images of violence. How did the omnipresence of scenes of violence on screens become a transnational phenomenon? Why does it have the power to move, excite or titillate us? What is our responsibility to images of violence, if any? These are some of the questions we will address as we chart the history of screening violence from early film and media to the present. Letter grade only.

  • MS146 PO - Temporalities of the Moving Image

    When Offered: Fall 2018.
    Instructor(s): Staff
    Credit: 1

    This course will concentrate on time as a category of analysis. Cinema possesses distinct affinities with the rationalization of labor and standardization of time that took place at the end of the nineteenth century, and yet it also provides a way of negotiating and resisting these processes, as it imagines alternative relations to standardized time. The course begins from the proposition that cinema provided a way for the twentieth century to re-think its changed relation to time after industrial modernity. Topics will include amnesia, boredom, duration, distraction, memory, the supposed death of cinema, real time, and simultaneity. Letter grade only. Prerequisites: MS 049 PO  , MS 050 PO  , or MS 051 PO  .

  • MS147H PO - Reality, Realism and the Real

    When Offered: Spring 2018.
    Instructor(s): J. Friedlander; H. Krips
    Credit: 1

    In the humanities, Realism has been criticized for impressing upon audiences the illusion that they are watching real life events unfold spontaneously before their eyes - an illusion that takes on a politically conservative role as a vehicle for the circulation of dominant ideological meanings. In the sciences, by contrast, Realism has attracted far more favorable reviews: for example, Einstein writes that “If one renounces this assumption [of Realism]…then I do not see what physics is supposed to describe.” In this course we will examine the interplay between these two attitudes towards Realism. In particular we will suggest that it is possible to recuperate a politically progressive role for Realism as an aesthetic-representational form. Letter grade only. Prerequisites: MS 049 PO , MS 050 PO  or MS 051 PO  , or 5C equivalents. [T]

    When Offered: Last offered spring 2017.
    Instructor(s): A. Reed, M. Andrejevic
    Credit: 1

    Ways of seeing and technologies of viewing shape knowledge practices, aesthetic regimes, and power relations. This course takes a thematic approach to theories and technologies of visuality from classical to contemporary practices of viewing. It explores the subjective experience of viewing through class exercises, including a collaboration with visiting Los Angeles artist Hillary Mushkin. The course applies theoretical approaches to visual representations and viewing practices through engagement with artworks, literature, and critical theory. Thinkers covered range from Plato to Renaissance thinkers, and the work of Walter Benjamin, Don DeLillo, Georges Perec, Roland Barthes, Michel Foucault, Jonathan Crary, Paul Virilio, Alan Sekula, and Trevor Paglen.

Along the way, we will learn a number of terms and theoretical concepts, including formalism, realism, surrealism, post-colonialism, modernity, postmodernity, and globalization.

  • MS148A PO - Topics in Media Theory: Surveillance and the Media: Observation, Power, and Control

    When Offered: Spring 2018.
    Instructor(s): M. Andrejevic
    Credit: 1

    This course considers the social and cultural implications of increasingly pervasive and comprehensive forms of surveillance (visual, auditory, data) enabled by emerging digital media. It situates contemporary examples of the mediated forms of surveillance and monitoring in historical and theoretical perspective, drawing on critical theories of the relationship between surveillance, observation, power and control. The course will explore a range of ways of thinking about the roles of observer and observed as well as the relationship between media technologies and techniques of observation. Letter grade only. Prerequisites: MS 049 PO , MS 050 PO  or MS 051 PO , or 5C equivalents.

  • MS148B PO - Drone Theory

    When Offered: Spring 2018.
    Instructor(s): M.Andrejevic
    Credit: 1

    This class draws on the figure of the drone to consider contemporary developments in media theory and practice. It invokes the drone – understood not just as a weaponized device but as forming part of a distributed, mobile, interactive, information network – to explore emerging logics of interactivity, data processing and automation. The course will rely upon critical theory to examine the development of asymmetrical power and remote control associated with drones and will situate the drone within the cultural imaginary, drawing upon the historical relationship between military and media technology. The goal will be to use the figure of the drone to illuminate more general logics of cybernetic control – their fantasies and actualities and the ways in which these relate to historical figures of automata, telepresence and action-at-a-distance. Additionally, the class will explore and critique theoretical developments that anticipate the forms of knowing, sensing and experiencing associated with the figure of the drone. Letter grade only.

  • MS148C PO - Media, Space and Power: Cultural and Political Geographies of the Media

    When Offered: Last offered spring 2015.
    Instructor(s): M.Andrejevic
    Credit: 1

    The understanding of media as being “in the middle” necessarily implicates questions of space and how it is traversed, organized, compressed or reconfigured. The questions are simultaneously crucial to the operation of power. Spatial concerns, therefore, have an important role to play in critical approaches to the study of media practices and technologies. This course considers some of the ways in which an engagement with issues of space, place, environment and mobility remains of central concern to the study of media practices. Central themes of class will include: the relationship of media technologies and practices to the production and consumption of space, to its modulation, representation and reconfiguration (and to the ways in which these are caught up in relations of power, control, and resistance). Readings will range across the realms of philosophy, cultural geography, political activism and critical theory. Letter grade only.

  • MS148D PO - Powers of Pleasure

    When Offered: Spring 2018.
    Instructor(s): J. Friedlander
    Credit: 1

    This course interrogates John Fiske’s contention that “pleasure may be the bait on the hook of hegemony, but it is always more than this; it always involves an element that escapes the system of power.” With this claim in mind, we will: 1) evaluate key arguments in the field regarding pleasure’s complicity with dominant ideological frameworks–particularly with regard to normative views of gender, race, class and sexuality; 2) consider ways in which the critique of pleasure itself may collude with patriarchal, racist, clasist and heteronormative systems of thought; and 3) explore the possibilities for pleasure to undermine established systems of power. Letter grade only. Prerequisites: MS 049 PO , MS 050 PO , and MS 051 PO .
  

  • MS148G PO - Film Theory

    When Offered: Spring 2018.
    Instructor(s): T. Connelly
    Credit: 1

    This course develops theoretical approaches to the analysis of film as it enters the digital era. The course starts out with classic film theory and concludes with a consideration of the impact of digitization. Along the way we will learn a number of terms, theoretical concepts and methodological approaches to critically evaluate and analyze fictional films, including formalism, realism, genre, ideology, semiotics, structuralism, psychoanalysis and postmodernism. We will consider the question of how forms of analog film fare in the digital era and what is meant by the pronouncement of the “death of film.” Letter grade only. Prerequisites: MS 049 PO  , MS 050 PO  , or MS 051 PO  .
