426 Advanced Cultural Studies: Introduction to Television Studies
(anrechenbar als K531/32 für ZweitfachanglistInnen und als K701)
2st, VO
Gastprof. Voigts-Virchow, Wed 15-17, Unterrichtsraum (ab 9.3.)
In the first part, this lecture course will survey the historical development of television in Britain
and the USA. We will investigate the specific technical and social media framework of TV (its
potential for 'live' transmission, audience positioning in the private home, the cathode ray image,
attention dispersal in channel switching, the 'window' rhetoric and illusion). Television analysis
is essential because the private use of this public medium has its share in determining what is
considered 'normal' in a given community. In the second part, there will be a focus on genre:
how does generic diversification on TV work and what are the defining genres of television (i.e.,
news programmes, soap opera, drama and sitcom, documentary etc.).
Assessment: A final 90-minute exam.
Textbook: Glen Creeber (Ed.): TheTelevision Genre Book (London: British Film Institute)
We will also use the e-learning environment WebCT: INTERNET ACCESS IS
