Communication 6605
Media Studies
Fall 1996

Prof. Gil Rodman (CIS 3040, 974-3025)
Office Hours: Tu 1-2 pm, Th 5-6 pm, and by appointment
Course materials:
  1. Judith Williamson, Decoding Advertisements: Ideology and Meaning in Advertising. Available at the University Bookstore.
  2. Photocopied essays. Required readings are available in the Communication Department Library (CIS 3026). Given the size of the class, the quantity of articles to be read, and the limits to the number of copies I can reasonably make available, I would strongly encourage y'all to engage in a photocopying "co-op" using the department reserve copies.
  3. An e-mail account. Participation in the listserv (MEDIA-L) that has been set up for this course will require you to have (and use) an e-mail account. Students without e-mail accounts should check with their college or department for details on how to get one.
Listserv participation:
The primary purpose of this list is to provide an additional forum for discussion of the issues raised by the assigned readings and our weekly sessions. Prompts intended to spur on the dialogue will be posted as necessary.

Given that listservs tend to evolve in amorphous and chaotic fashion, there will be no formal bookkeeping procedures used to assess your contribution to the list. As a rough guideline, I would estimate that ten substantial (i.e., more than a paragraph long) posts per person over the course of the semester would constitute a reasonable contribution to the discussion.

Occasionally, the list may be used to make course-related announcements (e.g., "please add the collected works of Marx to next week's reading") or to pass word on about other media studies related topics that may be of interest to the class (e.g., calls for papers, upcoming conferences, recently published articles and books, etc.). So check your e-mail often.

To join the list, send an e-mail message to LISTSERV@nosferatu.cas.usf.edu in which the body of the message (not the subject) consists of:
	subscribe MEDIA-L your-firstname your-lastname
To post to the list, send an e-mail message to MEDIA-L@nosferatu.cas.usf.edu

Additional information about the list and how to use it will be sent to you when you subscribe.
Papers:
Choose one of the following two options:
  1. One (1) 25-30 page research paper on a media studies related subject. Due by December 17. Those choosing this option should consult with me as early in the semester as possible to discuss their choice of topics. A brief (if it's more than 2 pages, it's too long) written statement describing your intended project is due by October 15. Ideally, the finished product should be suitable for submission to a conference or a refereed journal.
  2. Three (3) 8-10 page critical response papers. The due dates for these papers are:
    		Paper due on		Covering course sections
		Oct 8				1/2/3/4/5
		Nov 12				6/7/8/9/10
		Dec 17				11/12/13/14
    You are free to write on whatever topic(s) you like from the material covered during the course sections associated with each paper. If you have questions about specific topics you have in mind, please feel free to talk to me about them ahead of time. These essays should be thoughtful, critical engagements with the course material in question; they should not be mere summaries of the readings or regurgitation of our in-class/on-line conversations.

    N.B.: I will assume that anyone who hasn't turned in a response paper by the first of the deadlines above has opted to do the research paper instead.
Office hours:
My office is located at CIS 3040 and I've got official office hours this semester on Tuesdays from 1-2 pm, Thursdays from 5-6 pm. I'm more than willing, however, to make arrangements to meet with people outside of those hours as the need arises. To set up an alternate meeting time, you can either call me (974-3025) or drop me an e-mail note (at either grodman@cis01.cis.usf.edu or gbr@kcii.com).
