The course aims at enhancement of students´ capacities to read scholarly texts. It strives to make a process of reading scholarly literature controlled and methodical activity. The course gradually unveils the process in which meaning is distilled out of more or less comprehensible input.  The course also aspires to make students familiar with main perspectives on conjunctions between media and memory as they developed in the field of media cultural studies. 

Sylabus

The class timetable:  Feb 18: Opening session - rules and principles of the seminar, FAQ’s  Feb 25: Opening lecture: Theoretical framework for the study of memory in old and new media ageThe lecture looks at the blossoming discipline of memory studies and sheds light on concepts which are useful starting points for enquiry into connections between memory and the workings of communication media. The lecture argues that there is a close nexus between memory and media which manifests itself in the ways memory is produced "in", "by" and "through" media. It pinpoints principal sites of media memory scholarship with emphasis on  journalism, media’s engagement in stimulation of individual memory, media’s involvement in sedimentation of collective memory (mainly in channelling potential social hegemony) and transformation brought about by transfer of memory processes on the digital platform. March 4: Memory and History: Seminal Ideas in the Study of the Collective Memory (Maurice Halbwachs, Henri Bergson, Paul Ricoeur, Pierre Nora, Jacques LeGof)Garde-Hannsen, Joan (2011) Media and Memory.
