The course aims to provide an introduction to media studies and to establish a framework for addressing topics related to media communication in general, as well as specific issues students will encounter in subsequent courses (both general theoretical-analytical courses and those specializing in particular areas of the discipline). Directly building upon the foundational compendium of media studies, the goal of the course is to map key theories, approaches, and figures in media studies, outlining their history, present state, and context within the broader framework of cultural studies. An essential component of the course consists of seminars dedicated to analyzing key texts in the field of media studies.
