Television Culture 331T
Online
"C" Gen Ed Credit
Winter 2013
In this course we have two explicit goals. First, we will build a
vocabulary and acquire a set of analytical tools for viewing, writing,
and thinking critically about television in contemporary American
culture and politics. As both an artistic medium and a site of
cultural production, we are concerned with interpreting television in
its relation to the phenomenon of Cultural Studies more generally.
Here, we are committed to building an understanding of a select set of
forms and methods for theorizing the relation of images to text and
images as a mode of communication. Second, we are committed to an in
depth study of the socio-cultural situations from which television
culture appears. Along with reading John Fiske’s landmark Television
Culture, we will screen the first season of David Simon’s critically
acclaimed HBO series The Wire. Not only has Simon’s series garnered
significant attention in academic circles, it provides a rich
landscape with which to explore the relation between film, politics,
the socio-cultural determination of meaning.
