Senior Seminar (4) – Ariana Hernandez-Reguant
Title: Anthropology and Mass Culture
Section ID 537285 Lecture Th 10:00 – 12:50 MCC 125
In this senior seminar we will discuss various anthropological approaches
to the study of mass media and popular culture in contemporary societies
around the world. Readings will be both theoretical and ethnographic.
Drawing from ethnograpahic studies of media such as advertising, cartoons,
soap operas, world music, pirate radio, socialist and religious media,
indigenous video, travel publications, etc., we will discuss their production,
representations and reception in relation to ideologies, structures of
feeling, and world events. Examples of issues to be examined vis-a-vis
the mass production and circulation of images and messages include: individual
freedom and agency, globalization and locality, activism and social movements,
power, resistance and acquiescence, and international and economic structures.

Senior Seminar (4) – Michele Goldwasser
Title: Carnival, Festival and Ritual Performances
Section ID 537286 Lecture Th 3:30 – 6:20 MCC 125
This course will examine a range of cultural productions with an emphasis
on understanding how cultures become constituted through performance.
Using a performance studies approach, we will analyze the following: sacred
rituals (including examples of pilgrimage rites, healing ceremonies, and
possession-trance rituals); public festivals (Halloween and El Día
de los Muertos); and carnival (Lousiana Mardi Gras and Trinidadian Mas).
Rather than merely entertaining, performance is profoundly political.
This will be revealed through our discussions of the role of performance
in constituting cultural memory and social relations in immigrant communities,
touristic encounters, and transnational contexts.

Topics in Communication – Graduate (4) – Robert Horwitz
Title: Communication and Democracy
Section ID 545718 Lecture W 3:00 – 5:50 MCC 201
The course explores the relationship between communication and democracy
at both theoretical and empirical levels. We begin with a reexamination
of the communicative claims of modernization theory, that is, the asserted
correlation between rising incomes, media use, psychological empathy,
and democracy. In this context, we explore what is democracy and what
are its salient characteristics, both formal (that is, institutions and
procedures) and informal (the questions of ideals, culture, and voluntary
associations). We move to the public sphere debate, and the communicative
theory of democracy. Next we engage in an extended “applications”
section, which includes an investigation into how people talk (or not)
about politics; the interplay between markets, law, and democracy in the
institutional arena of US communications; an investigation into whether
and how an international human rights advocacy network has forged a kind
of new international public sphere (and claims to universal values) that
has begun to tread upon the old international relations doctrine of state
sovereignty; a rendition of the hate speech debate as a way to appreciate
the question whether words can be used as weapons to silence and politically
disenfranchise certain groups, and whether and how such disenfranchisement
is necessary to legitimate torture; and a section on whether and how technology
and expertise may both facilitate and undermine democracy. The course
concludes with a return to theory.
