Course Catalog Description:
Key debates in the history, theory, and criticism of television. Focuses on critical/creative "readings" of television's past/present forms. TV's influence on film, music, and digital media.
Class Description:
This course examines television as a technology that should be neither completely dismissed (i.e., "Everything on TV is stupid") nor uncritically embraced. Television has a complex history that has served to both unite social groups and atomize and anesthetize individuals. Accordingly, we will approach television as a complex cultural institution that not only entertains, but also largely determines the stories we tell ourselves. We will study writings on television and specific TV shows from a variety of angles to understand the rise of American broadcast technologies, how race and class are crafted on TV, representations of gender and the home, postmodernity, the demise of taste, what constitutes ?reality? in our present historical moment, and changes in the televisual technologies.
