Course Title:
ESOP : Media Representations
Course Number:
A8500
Course Description:
When you follow media outlets from different countries, you will notice that very similar events or concepts can be elaborated upon in very different ways. Some issues that are covered widely and positively in one country could be ignored or covered negatively in mainstream media of other countries. This is because societies have dominant ideologies that are formulated through institutions of power and diffused through mainstream media outlets. Consequently, we are subject to stereotypical media representations formulated by the dominant culture and ideology that we live in. Repetitive and stereotypical media representations have a significant impact on how we think about ourselves and "others" even if we do not a;ways realize or question these. Lectures throughout the semester will combine theories from cultural studies, media studies, and gender studies to analyze stereotypical representations in mainstream media outlets of Japan.
