This course is an exploration of one or more topics in media history and theory.  The topics covered in this course will vary from one semester to the next and will depend upon student and instructor interests.  Relevant topics may include (but are not limited to) historical perspectives on: film genres and styles; the relationship between media technologies and culture; creative movements; local, national, regional, or global media cultures; media audience study and analysis; specific areas of media theory. Enrollment for part II depends on permission of the instructor, which will only be granted if the topic is essentially different from that covered in part I.
