Week Eight: Stuart Hall and Raymond Williams

Stuart Hall

This week we will have a guest scholar speaking and conversing with us on the work of Stuart Hall, Raymond Williams and Marxist approaches to media studies. The speaker will be Dan O'Reilly Rowe who  is a documentary filmmaker, video artist, and media scholar. His research interests include video game theory and role of computational media in social movements and education. Dan divides his time between the US and Australia, working with non-profits, community organisations, and universities to develop media resources and programs. He holds a Master's in Digital Communication and Culture from the University of Sydney, Australia.

Dan has asked us to read two excerpts which I have emailed to you and which are also linked on the syllabus or available on the course resources page from the link on this page.

Please brink your laptops or a tablet computer. 

Please remember to post your addition to the Medium is the Massage, a page illuminating any insight you have about contemporary media.
