Osnova
  • This lecture series provides and overview of various methods and approaches to studying film and television production as a social and cultural activity. The course pays particular attention to how the social organization of crews and production firms, creative labor practices, economic conditions, and new technologies impact both: (a) the images and narratives that production companies put up on the screen as primary content for audiences; and (b) the cultural expressions, rationalizations, and trade stories that film/video workers tell about themselves to themselves and affiliate groups within the industry. Integrating cultural research with political-economic analysis is now essential if scholars hope to better understand either: the current, unstable conditions of film and television production during the transmedia or digital era; or, the shifting nature of industry and media now that many distinctions between “professional” media workers and “amateur” fans are in jeopardy or largely breaking down.
