Through a close examination of the different forms of contemporary culture people are frequently exposed to and consume - movies, TV sitcoms, internet blogs, pop music, and so on - this course considers how our understandings of reality and our perceptions about society and our identities are shaped by the various media that surround us. Informed by both cultural theory and the history of media, this course offers a series of case studies of media texts with the goal of helping students understand the nature and effects of our contemorary media culture.
