COMM 241 - Cultural Criticism


Credits: 4
A writing-intensive introduction to the practices and methods of cultural criticism. Through a collective examination of a shared text, students learn the process of media and cultural analysis: asking critical questions, situating texts in their broader contexts, and using theoretical tools to develop their own works of cultural criticism. Students learn to approach texts as sites where meaning, knowledge, truth, and power are constructed and/or contested.

Prerequisite: COMM 120 , COMM 145 , or FSCOM 201 , or permission of instructor.

Distribution Requirements: HE, PD.
