This course examines the ways in which media audiences as individuals and members of various social communities come to understand and interpret (make meaning of) media content. Beginning with a brief historical survey of the dominant theoretical and methodological approaches to studying audiences of media, the course then focuses on active audience paradigms and media power, audience positionalities, fan culture, and taste cultures. Readings introduce students to diverse audiences (in terms of nationality, race and ethnicity, gender, sexuality, class background) and media content.
