DESCRIPTION
The course builds on Film and Media History (L_AABAMKD202). It offers a survey of the major trends and debates regarding the historiography of Film and Media. It raises general questions about historical knowledge and the representation of history, while focusing more specifically on writings in/about film, television and media history. How have authors conceived of the history of media; from what perspectives and through which methodologies have they legitimated it; and how were they influenced by adjacent disciplines. We will discuss how the way of writing of a particular media history goes hand in hand with a certain view on the meaning and function of media. Screenings will be a regular part of the course.
