- How culture shapes mass media and how mass media shapes culture
- Example: Designated Survivor
Homework:
- Watch a movie or TV show or play a video game or read a good book and come prepared to report on:
- How they convinced you to start watching and keep watching (suspense, drama, celebrity, sex)
- What is the target audience? Why did they choose that group?
- What roles are they defining and how are they defining them? (Hint: how are women portrayed, how are men, people of color, disabilities)?
- Does the show follow genre conventions or do they try to disrupt the conventions?
- Readings: The Lottery and The Bronx Slave Market
