Title: Political Talk Media and Cable News
Lecture: MWF 2:00-2:50 MCC 201
Section ID: 755297
Description: This course examines the role that cable news networks and programs such as Fox News, MSNBC and The Daily Show play in our contemporary political culture. It will cover the rise of political talk media, the growth of partisanship in U.S. journalism and the development of the cable news industry. COSF 175 deals with special topics such as how political and ideological messages are conveyed in cable news programming, how social hierarchy and conflict are represented, how cultural identities are expressed and performed. This course will also address the enduring tensions between commercial entertainment and professional journalism and how corporate marketing strategies and political agendas are becoming increasingly entwined in the modern media landscape.

Title: The Department of Communication’s 30th Anniversary - Re-membering Communication
Lecture M 9:00 – 11:50 MCC 201
Section ID TBA

Be a part of the student team that will help create a memorable celebration of the 30th Anniversary of the Department of Communication!

This class consists of a yearlong integrative seminar designed to provide a model of how to combine theory and practice in the study of communication. The course has a practical goal: To create an outstanding public event commemorating the formation of Communication as a Department.

All of a Communication student's prior knowledge will come into play in the process of realizing this goal. During each of the three quarters of the 2012-2013 academic year the class will meet once a week. That meeting will be divided between scholarly examination of such topics as processes of documentation, the use of archives, processes of inter-generational change, and the very practical problems of organizing the Commemoration.

Students with foci ranging across the perspectives on Communication are welcome to apply for the class. During the course of the first quarter, the class will be divided into teams to organize work on the many different, specialized tasks. All students will be involved in documenting and creating the final event.

It is strongly urged and expected that students will commit to sign up for all three quarters of the course (Fall 2012, Winter 2013, and Spring 2013), since the capstone event occurs in May and preparations start in September.

As we move from theory to practice in organizing this event, having team members who deeply understand the project will be essential.

In addition to time spent in-class during which the meeting will end with the development of a list of Priority Tasks of the Week, the separate teams will meet together at mutually agreed upon times to ensure fulfillment of those priorities.

The class is planned for 9:00 am to 12:00 pm each Monday morning that will be the core organizing time for the remainder of the week's work. Please do not enroll in the course unless you have that period of time entirely free.

Once the course breaks into teams, additional meeting times will be organized according to the overall needs of the project.

Title: Straight, No Chaser: Jazz in Films
Lecture TuTh 11:00 – 12:20 MCC 140
Section ID 758309
Prerequisites: COMM 10 and any 2 of the COMM 100’s

Film and Jazz together emerged at the turning of the 19th and 20th centuries.This course addresses the relationship between jazz and film, with an emphasis on how the question of race has effected the portrayal of jazz and jazz musicians in film. Racism in the film industry, economic exploitation of musicians, and the national and international significance of jazz are among the topics that will be addressed. We will seek to analyze the reasons for and the effects of the portrayal of jazz in film through readings and film viewings selected to develop a greater understanding of the cultural and political frameworks dominant at different historical periods.

Title: The Culture and Politics of Food
Lecture W 2:00 – 4:50 MCC 133
Section ID 755254
Prerequisite: Junior Standing
From the struggle to improve school lunches to the issue of world hunger, from growing concerns about obesity in American to the fight to save family farms, food has become an object of intense cultural and political interest in the United States and internationally. Food is not only a means of survival, but a way of expressing individual and cultural identity, a site of political struggle, a focus for sustainable development, and a multi-billion dollar globalized industry. This course will address the recent rise in food-focused discourses in a variety of contexts, including the evolution of USDA nutrition guidelines, the rise of organic farming, the controversy over genetically modified organism (GMOs), the world food crisis, and the growth of hunger and malnutrion in the United States.

Junior Seminar in Communication (4) – Carl McKinney
Title: Communicating Sex
Lecture F 3:00 – 5:50 MCC 133
Section ID 755256
Prerequisite: Junior Standing
This seminar explores the politics and practices of producing, distributing, and consuming representations of human sex and sexuality. Using historical and theoretical work on sexuality, visual culture, human interaction, media technologies, communication law, and the entertainment industries, we will critically assess a variety of written, visual, and interactive texts and engage ongoing debates about the social, cultural, and political values of sexual representation. We will look specifically at issues of obscenity and censorship, prostitution, pornography, erotic art, and erotica, sexual science or sexology, sexual technologies, sex education, and the so-called “pornification” of mainstream culture. Throughout we will be concerned with how the communication of sex works discursively in the construction and stratification of social identity categories such as sexuality, race, gender, and class.

Junior Seminar in Communication (4) – Ayhan Aytes
Title: Participatory Culture
Lecture Th 5:00 – 7:50 MCC 133
Section ID 755257
Prerequisite: Junior Standing
Practices of participatory culture in social networking, crowd sourcing, file sharing platforms, video-sharing sites, games and virtual environments have become highly significant in terms of their influence on the novel forms of social interactions and community formations. We will explore this digital media based phenomenon with a particular focus on the questions of its cultural consequences: How do these participatory platforms enable collective production and consumption of cultural content on the net, what is the economic nature of these cultural products and how do these seemingly disembodied digital processes interact with our corporeal conditions? In addition to the potentials and the limitations of corporate media platforms, we will look at alternative participatory zones where creative, political and intellectual collectives emerge, intervene and dissolve.

Topics in Communication (4) Robert Horwitz
Title: Communication and Class: Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street
Lecture: W 9:00-11:50AM MCC 201
Section ID: 755158
Description:
The question that animates the course is this: Why was the popular response to the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression a distinctly conservative one? The course will examine the latest social movements in the United States, the Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street, within the contexts of economic crisis and how class conflict manifests politically in present-day United States. To that end, we begin with the classic statement in the analysis of class and culture (including religion), EP Thompson.s The Making of the English Working Class. We will look at a bit at the social movement literature, and how Pierre Bourdieu ties together class and culture in Distinction: A Social Critique of the Judgement of Taste. The bulk of the course will be devoted to accounts of the evolution of postwar American conservatism and the Tea Party movement, including my book in press, America.s Right: Anti-Establishment Conservatism from Goldwater to the Tea Party, Theda Skocpol & Vanessa Williamson.s The Tea Party and the Remaking of Republican Conservatism, and whatever texts look particularly salient on Occupy Wall Street. Todd Gitlin will be publishing a book called Occupy Nation: The Roots, the Spirit, and the Promise of Occupy Wall Street in late August. If it is really available, that might be a text to read.
