WiSe 23/24: Media and Cultural Theory in North American Studies
Martin Lüthe
Kommentar
This seminar aspires to introduce students to a selection of critical theories in media and cultural studies (in the context of North American Studies). Starting from the assumption that media matter – and have mattered – in the United States (and beyond), we will explore and discuss media theories and theories of cultures and the ways in which they speak to one another, intersect, and function in the so-called field of North American Studies. Not only, but also, in light of the recent debates in the context of the digital turn, we will re-visit crucial moments of the theoretical debates in media and cultural studies. This seminar will hopefully provide a space for us to think critically through the media/culture nexus and to understand what we do – as critical practice – in what German scholars call media culture studies (Medienkulturwissenschaften). -----
Course requirements: We will discuss course requirements in our first session, as they depend on the number of students enrolled in the seminar. In addition to regular attendance and active participation (in the shape of reading responses), you will either write a final research paper with a deadline of April 1, 2023, or an in-class exam (in the form of an essay).
