CIN-4600: Global Lenses: Social Issues in Narrative Film This course studies global cinema as a lens through which to understand the human impacts of social and environmental injustices. Films from diverse nations and cultures illuminate global issues by telling fictional stories that accurately and intimately depict how everyday lives, loves, and struggles are impacted by social dynamics of power and privilege within the filmmakers’ homelands. Some of these issues are large – such as impacts of globalization or climate change- while others are very precise–such as the lives of Kurdish orphans working as mine sweepers in Northern Iraq. In all, the narrative and cinematic lenses are focused on human impacts and grassroots actions, the stories of lives lived amidst injustice, challenges faced, activism inspired. In addition to viewing films, students will read and view materials from multiple academic disciplines to inform the films, for example historical or political science background materials, personal accounts and archival photographs. Students will also be introduced to basics of film theory and narrative theory, and discuss the role that these genres can play in movements for social or environmental justice.

CIN-4605: Global Cinema Provides a window into diverse and emergent forms of storytelling from around the world with a distinct focus on films made by filmmakers from Africa, Latin America and Asia. A mix of shorts, documentary and narrative features, the course examines the distinctive aesthetics, cultural contexts and authorship in recently released films in the film festival circuit. Recognizing films as cultural artifacts and filmmaking as practice, students develop their abilities to distinguish between watching a film, reading a film and understanding it from multiple perspectives given time, place, power dynamics and more. As they interrogate their own reactions, they surface preconceptions about other-ness, self-identities and their call out some of their own blinders. They develop their abilities to get outside themselves to recognize alternative points of view. Students read film theory, watch and analyze films weekly, and undertake a final project.

COM-3440: Critical Analysis of Digital Media We live in a world of unprecedented communication capabilities: a phone is a global podium, one single tweet can trigger masses, and artificial intelligence is widely used to curate ideas that mirror our individual beliefs right back to us. How did these happen? What is our role as media audience and citizens in this landscape of enticements? Can we spot bias at all, and if so, how is it ultimately constructed? What can be learned from it? The course offers students theoretical and methodological tools to discern the interactive media practices and communication technologies characteristic of late capitalism, and to curb their relentless, sophisticated attempts to make choices for us. To address these, we will examine relevant frameworks drawn from the interdisciplinary, postcolonial field of Cultural Studies, particularly its take on Sociology of Media, Critical Journalism, Propaganda Studies, and Semiotics (analysis of meaning-making processes). Through class discussion, readings and immersive tasks, we will look critically at the distinctive systems embedded in the production, distribution and consumption of contemporary media experiences. Based on these, we will generate a collaborative toolbox of practical strategies to gain agency over the insidious impact that digitally networked media have on our lives.

COM-3900: Power of Communication- What Our Voices Reveal This workshop addresses various aspects of the voice from the collective to the personal. As members of society, we hold views and attitudes about our world. These views encompass our voice, which serves as a basis for how we interact in the world and with each other. Our actual spoken voices are the auditory expressions of our voice, which convey personal information about our experiences, beliefs, and outlooks. This workshop will address various aspects of voice and speech from the cultural to the personal. In the lecture sections, students will consider these aspects and will be exposed to current ideas on vocal communication. Students will consider Standard Speech, variations of English speech, and the assumptions embedded in their uses. Students will be presented with audio/visual examples of speech varieties for discussion. In the experiential sections, students will participate in a vocal warm-up and will be exposed to exercises drawn from theatrical vocal training including relaxation, breath control, volume, articulation, etc. Students will address their own vocalizations and what they may convey in a relaxing and informative format. Wear comfortable clothes, and be prepared to enjoy being exposed to what actors know: the power of the voice to communicate your voice. No grade equivalents allowed.

COM-4010: Participatory Media Fake news, net neutrality, and digital citizenship are examples of topics that are increasingly present in our everyday lives. Until very recently, the full power to produce, edit and disseminate information was primarily in the hands of corporate media. While these media conglomerates have consolidated their monolithic grip on mainstream outlets, at the same time new affordable, portable and user-friendly communication and microblogging technologies have empowered individuals, groups and entire communities to become active producers and disseminators of their own messages. These new media activists freely disrupt, illuminate, engage, inspire, demystify, and democratize communication media. Often labeled as civic press, alternative media, community media, media of third degree, or radical media, these tools foster, at their core, active and politically engaged processes grounded on the principle of participation. Here we use the concept of Participatory Media to refer to the whole range of strategies and tools found in media activism. This course offers students the opportunity to use three lenses –history, theory, and technology-to analyze the implications of this unprecedented shift in which growing numbers of media audiences, including students themselves, may take media in their own hands and become active producers of information. The historical lens helps us track the social and political forces that have fostered the emergence of participatory media. The theoretical lens exposes us to rich scholarly conversations that shed light on the new intersection of social communication and human agency. As for the technological lens, it puts us in touch with the mechanical and digital tools at the disposal of participatory media.
