Between intellectual property and efficient markets?

 Advanced Topics in Communication, Politics and Society (4) Jeffrey Minson Title: Communication, Politics, and Citizenship in America Lecture: MW 7:00-8:20 Peter 102 
Section ID: 764166

Description: The course introduces students to some often-neglected perspectives on American democratic politics and citizenship, questioning received views about civic ideals, practices, problems and limits. It opens with some jarring examples of ‘extremist’ citizen action, which confront ‘idealist’ concerns about too little democratic participation with ‘realist’ concerns about its uncivil manifestations. Qualifying the conventional view of America as a ‘liberal democracy’, the course takes a look at how its political culture has also been shaped by non-liberal tendencies: statist, aristocratic, religious, white-ethnic, communitarian, conservative. Case studies illustrating this argument include traditions of often violent ’uncivil disobedience’; debate about the wisdom of the black-American civil rights strategy of attempting to de-segregate schooling (as opposed to fighting for better black schools), and the activism of the tea party movement. A unifying thread running through the course is the place of civility (including ‘civil government’) as conditions for democratic citizenship.  A second motif is the impact on politics of media (especially journalism) and moral/political rhetorics.

 Title: The Department of Communication’s 30th Anniversary - Re-membering Communication
 Lecture M 9:00 – 11:50 MCC 201
 Section ID: 764169

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.

To participate in this project apply to enroll in


Your application must be received by May 15th, 2012. If selected to participate, you will then be given instructions on how to enroll in the Fall Quarter COMM 146 listed under Professor Mike Cole.

Junior Seminar in Communication (4) – Deborah Downing-Wilson
 Title: Communication and the Creation of Small Social Groups TBA
 Lecture Tu 9:00 – 11:50a MCC 133 
Section ID 764173 Description: In this seminar we will explore the communication practices through which culture emerges in newly-forming social groups and the ways common understandings are developed among potential group members.  We will conceptualize small group functioning as a collective narrative process – a creative meaning-making endeavor that entails ongoing negotiation and adaptation, emotional investment, the synchronization of previously learned systems of symbols and practices, the development of hybrid and new practices, and the formation, maintenance and defense of group boundaries.

Section ID: 764174 Description: This course takes a long view of popular culture and examines different forms of popular media and social practices in the European and American contexts, from the early modern period forward.  We will focus on topics such as the novel, the museum, painting, cinema, shopping, food, fashion, and music.  Students will be asked to participate in class discussions and to craft a research project.

 Title: Commodity Activism and Ethical Consumption: Political Engagement for a Neoliberal Age 
Lecture W 12:00 – 12:50 p MCC 201 
Section ID: 764175

Description: Increasingly, political activism is taking place in the terrain of consumerism, as causes and companies alike attempt to marshal influence through appeals to consumers' values.  As a result, much of our political involvement now occurs through buying something, whether it is a (RED) product or a cup of Fair Trade coffee, effectively blurring the lines between politics and consumer culture. This course will explore this trend, and it will enable students to examine the consequences of commodity activism and its alternatives through a research project of their own

 Title:  Imagining the Future of Media W 3:30 – 6:20 MCC 133
 Section ID 764176 
Description: We live in a culture that everywhere shows evidence of a preoccupation with predicting the future. From our regular weather reports on the evening news, to futures trading in the financial markets, to the wild popularity of science fiction cinema, we cannot get seem to enough of the future. This course will examine the question of “the future,” and the cultural obsession with predicting it, focusing on media technologies. We will discuss the relationship between media technologies and visions of the future, in the past and the present. How has the future of media technologies been envisioned in the past, and what does that future look like in the present? How are media technologies themselves used to envision and predict the future? The course is not meant to be prophesizing so much as speculative and exploratory, drawing on James Carey’s contention that “the future as a predictable region of experience never appears… [It] is a time that never arrives but is always awaited.” Although the aim will not be to make authoritative predictions of the future, we will nevertheless give special consideration to the major challenges and opportunities facing scholars, students and advocates interested in understanding our changing media forms and working toward realizing their democratic possibilities.

 Topics in Communication (4) Patrick Anderson Title: Political Objecthood Tu 9:30a-12:20p MCC 139 
Section ID: 764228

Description: What is an object, and how does its constitutive being relate to (and complicate) notions of subjectivity, personhood, agency, and the human? Can objects have a social life, and how might we (and they) experience social death? This seminar will consider the position of objecthood in political terms through the fields of performance studies, critical ethnic studies, gender and sexuality studies, disability studies, and social theory. We will collectively explore a wide range of textual genres (literature, visual art, performance, film) in the context of an equally wide range of theoretical positions (including Merleau-Ponty, Moten, Hartman, Ong, Rubin). Students from any department are invited to participate, and a range of options for the format of final term projects will be offered.

Students are urged (but not required) to present and work with video from your own research and areas of interest. We will also examine research video clips from other projects and examples of video used to present research studies. We will consider theoretical and methodological issues as well as practical aspects of using video in research.
