Week 14 Discussion: Audience Studies

HERE are the lecture slides for this week.

Here are the discussion questions:
1) How have audience studies contributed to a more sophisticated understanding of media power, media imperialism, audience activity, and identity?
2) What are the set of questions being asked by effects researchers and by reception/everyday life scholars? How similar/different are they?
3) How should we understand culture in light of the global/local framework?

I'm excited to hear your thoughts!

It is good to start thinking about your topic for the paper this early. You only have one month to put it all together, after all. You may also consult me about your topics, ask for references, etc.

Good luck!
