授業の目的 【英語】
Goals of the Course | | | This course focuses on three key factors relating to contemporary media: globalization, power and language. The first of these invites us to take a comparative approach to the study of media discourse; the second alerts us to the need to think critically about how media and power are related; and the third suggests that any serious study of media discourse must pay careful attention to the language used in and around media texts. Through this course students will acquire a widely applicable set of skills relating to the critical analysis of media discourse. |

授業の内容や構成
Course Content / Plan | | | Setting aside for the time being the question of precisely what the word ‘media’ means in today’s rapidly-evolving communication context we may say that, in very broad terms, ‘media studies’ entails investigation of three core areas: production (including regulation, ownership and working practices), consumption and representation (texts). Although this course focuses mainly on texts it also involves a consideration of the other two areas since it views texts not as free-standing linguistic or semiotic phenomena but as instances of discourse, that is, as the discoursal aspect of social practices including those of production and consumption. Moreover, although most of the media texts to be studied will be in English (with some Japanese too depending on the ability of the participants), we shall aim to transcend national frontiers and consider how media discourses are propagated and circulated on a global scale. In doing so, participants will be encouraged to share their knowledge and describe their personal experience of media texts in their own countries, Japan and elsewhere. We shall begin in the first few weeks of the course by mapping out the territory of the academic border zone where media studies and discourse studies meet. This will entail a discussion of the meaning of a number of key terms including mediation, discourse, ideology, hegemony, genre and intertextuality. It will also include an introduction to some key theoretical frameworks, particularly Stuart Hall’s “Circuit of Culture” model (the successor to his “encoding/decoding” model) and Norman Fairclough’s “3D” model of discourse as text, interaction and context. The remainder of the course will be devoted to an exploration of various aspects of media discourse including genre, intertextuality and interactivity. There is a great deal of complex information to be absorbed in this course and participants will have to put in considerable time and energy in order to keep on track. Those who do so successfully, however, will be rewarded by the acquisition of a powerful set of theoretical tools with which to approach the analysis of media discourse in a global context. |
