CM2006 Media Globalization

What is globalization? Why study the media? What is the relationship between the media and globalization? What are the consequences of media globalization on our lives and identities? This course critically explores these questions and challenging issues that confront us today. Globalization can be understood as a multi-dimensional, complex process of profound transformations in all spheres 鈥 technological, economic, political, social, cultural, intimate and personal. Yet much of the current debates of globalization tend to be concerned with 鈥渙ut there鈥 macro-processes, rather than what is happening 鈥渋n here,鈥 in the micro-processes of our lives. This course explores both the macro and the micro. It encourages students to develop an enlarged way of thinking 鈥 challenging existing paradigms and providing comparative perspectives.
