Description:

Media and popular culture have always been an important part of people’s lives, but with the advent of the internet and social media apps available 24/7, many of us now couldn’t live without them. We’ll look at the rich array of media forms that make up so much of our culture, to help you understand their place in society.

From the mass media of film and TV to social platforms, we’ll explore a wide range of media texts. We’ll also look at their significance in terms of the nation’s cultural history. You could get involved in a range of political and sociological debates on your course too. We might look at fandom and subcultures, identity politics, gender, sexuality and ethnicity, or other fundamental questions that are raised by mankind’s ongoing fascination with the media.
