授業の概要と目的（何を学ぶか）Outline and objectives
We live in a media-saturated world, where every part of our lives is deeply interconnected with some type of media: smartphones with us at all times, the vastness of the internet, our regular media diets of films, series, videos, tweets, SNS, music, and more. Increasingly, living life is done mainly through media, but how do we go about analyzing this media-filled world around us? With this point of departure, this class will give an overview of the foundational concepts for contemporary media theory, examining some of the ideas from the most influential thinkers of media. These theories explore not just the technical operations of media, but how they function in society, how media work on us and how we work with and through them. In examining the theories about media, students will learn different methods to examine and analyze the media around us and the society we live in. By studying these theories, students will gain a general understanding of how to think about media, helping them to better navigate our media-saturated world.
到達目標Goal
In addition to teaching the students about media theory, this class aims to develop critical thinking and analytical skills. Throughout the semester students will: 1) learn various methodologies for approaching media; 2) examining the theories about various media; 3) explore how to apply these theories and concepts to other subjects; 4) learn how to conduct analyses of different media.

Classes will be lecture-based, with visual material such as clips of films and images. Students will be asked to have group discussions and analyses on certain themes. Each week students will be provided with an academic reading relevant to the topic. These readings will be important background information and/or will be directly addressed as the topic of the lecture and discussion. Lectures will explain in detail and through examples the topic for that class. Discussions based on the lecture will be facilitated by questions from the instructor to help the students explore and develop their critical and analytical skills for that topic. Students will be assessed on their understanding of the lectures and readings through their presentations and papers. Students will receive feedback in class and in written form, based on a grading rubric.
