It will investigate the diversity of images, meanings and practices which comprise popular culture. Through analysis and discussion, attention will be drawn to processes of change and adaptation in the popular culture of the 1990s. The subject will also consider the commercial imperatives shaping popular culture and its multiple relations to political processes and to power relations. Major reference points in the subject will include post-modernism, feminism and analyses of late capitalism. Of particular importance will be the consideration of cultural meanings and practices in the current Australian context. Topics here include: youth culture, pub culture, weddings, the beach, soap opera, women's magazines and sport. References Rske, J. Understanding fbpular Culture, Boston: Unwin Hyman, 1989 Hebdige.

Reading the Popular, Boston: Unwin Hyman, 1989 AM205 Special Issues in the Media No. of hours per week: three hours Prerequisites: AM1 02 or AM1 03 Assessment: continuous Subject aims and description This subject will investigate the major relationships between women and the media today. The general framework of enquiry will comprise representation, audience reception and media consumption practices, and employment. Students will be encouraged to develop a variety of skills in the exploration of issues pertaining to women. These involve both textual analysis, in particular the study of representations of women in media texts, and the examination of critical theoty and research exploring issues in representation, reception and employment. Two particular concerns here include the special needs and practices of women as audiences and media users, and the structures and conditions affecting women's employment in the media, especially given the current legislation governing equal opportunity.

It is divided into two areas of study: (i) a theoretical and critical view of the functton and nature of the press in Australia (two hours per week); and (ii) practical lessons in news writing (two hours per week). The first area of study offers an historical overview of the changing role of the press and examines the socio-political, ideological and economic influences which have shaped the modern newspaper industry in Australia. Newspaper traditions in other countries - such as the United States, the Swiet Union, Europe and South East Asia - will be compared and different newspapers in Australia will be examined for their similarities and differences. Key issues include freedom of the press, the concentration of newpaper ownership, the power of the press, the structure of nwvs organisations, ethics, news values, bias, media accountability, defamation, privacy, and advertising. The second area of study will focus on practical news writing and production skills. Students will be encouraged to write and submit stories for publication in community newspapers. Students will also learn basic computer word processing and desktop publishing skills. References Bennett, W.L. News: Pblitics of Illusion, 2nd ed, New York: Longman, 1988 Roscho, B.

The first half of the subject concentrates on the representation of nationalism in film and television. The enquiry then broadens to consider representations of cultural difference, marginality and resistance. Included here is some analysis of cultural representation from the point of view of Aboriginal people, women and cultural minorities. Processes of cultural construction and demarcation are of central significance in this subject. The major visual texts to be analysed will be Australian feature films, with some consideration of Australian television and independent film. I

AM300 Cinema Studies No. of hours per week: four houn Prerequisite: AM 102 and any two stage two media studies subjects or equivalent Assessment: continuous Subject aims and description The viewing material for this subject is a selection of films arranged generically (e.g. the musical, or the horror film, or the western, or the science-fiction film), thematically (the romantic drama, or the journey film, or the domestic drama), or stylistically (the films noirs, or the problems of realism, or 'to cut or not to cut?'). These films will provide study samples for a pursuit of ideas introduced during the previous two years of the course into a systematic analysis of film. The emphasis is upon the practice of film criticism. Attention is focused upon the usefulness of structuralist and semiological studies, and their function in relation to the humanist discourse which dominates more traditional critical work. In this context, particular questions to do with the developing study of film will be on the agenda for ongoing consideration: for example, the ways in which ideology is inscribed into the works examined (as well as into the methods of examination), for various systems of representation, for the usefulness of the work of the 'frameby-frame heretics', for the kinds of relationships constructed between a film and its viewer, for the place of 'the author' in this process in relation to the formal and thematic organisation of the works which bear hislher name, for the usefulness of 'genre' studies, for the function of the 'star system', and for the relationship between the film, the industry and the culture in which they exist.

Practical skills covered include recording techniques, interviewing, scripting, narrating and editing. There are many approaches to a theoretical investigation of radio. You can start with the skills used in criticism of literature and film. But the course also explores what is special about radio - how speaking differs from writing, and how listening differs from reading. And it also examines the way we understand information that we receive via the ear - as distinct from information we read or see. Critical work will focus on Melbourne radio, from a mix of commercial, public and gwernment stations. And these will be discussed in their historical and contemporary contexts. Material that is "airworthy" is submitted for use on community radio stations. Textbook Swinburne Radio Production Notes References Arnheim, R. Radio. NRN York: Da Capo, 1972 Brecht, B.

Students work in groups to produce a major piece for radio such as a feature documentary or radio drama. In addition students carry out individual work exploring the synthesis of theory and practice. Liaison with community radio stations enables students to develop material and have it put to air. The role of radio in our culture is considered from two perspectives. Firstly, how do the structural features of the medium affect the creation of its material or "cultural products"? And secondly, how is meaning created within radio? What are the "preferred meanings" in what we hear?
