SCRN 261 - Critical Perspectives on Television

Pursues fundamental questions about television through the complex mechanisms of contemporary criticism and popular culture. To understand how television functions, for instance, you must understand certain aspects of its mechanics, economics and politics. To understand what television means to people, we confront a matrix of even more varied human dimensions, which are more difficult to identify. How is television studied? How is meaning created through the audio/visual domain of television? How does that meaning come to be popular? What is at stake in the production and consumption of television?
