LV-Beschreibung
Inhalt/e
This course is an advanced introduction to debates on culture, media and society in variousnational, international and transnational contexts. It will promote a deeper understanding of specific patterns of cultural production and reception incountries and societies beyond the “relatively unrepresentative nations as Britain and the US” (Downing, 1996) which can no longer serve as the only valid pattern and model for analyzing cultural and media history and currents (Curran & Park, 2000). We shall follow the key critical debates in cultural theory with a particular attention to the development and impact of the British cultural studies tradition (Birmingham 1964-2002) in order to rethink their conceptual apparatus while testing its suitability for the analysis of cultural production, distribution and reception in a variety of non-westernsocio-political contexts during the Cold War. The course will make references to examples from two specific areas of cultural industries, i.e. film and book publishing, to achieve broader understanding of how various cultural formats work away from the traditional West vs rest dichotomy. This focus will require a fresh focus on concepts such as censorship, exile, propaganda, resistance, underground, dissent, identity and repression, as well as theoretical and analytical engagement with new modes of cultural production, policy and their transformation (e-book, piracy, media archeology, etc).
