We will study representation as a cultural system where cultural identities, feelings of belonging, and identifications with distinct social position are constructed and organized on the basis of social and cultural difference. Finally we will analyze historical and contemporary case examples of cultural struggles where contests over forms of domination, social marginalization, and inequalities are maintained and challenged in the areas of media and representation. Requirements and Evaluation Students are expected to be active participants in this course and thus will be evaluated in part on their contributions to class discussion. Written work will be evaluated on the basis of three (ten page) papers. The papers will be based on source materials and discussion from the course. Each of you will be responsible for reading and keeping up with the assigned materials and class participation both of which will count toward your final grade. Prompts, guidelines, and directions for written assignments will be posted on the course Web page. Essay 1: 30% Essay 2: 30% Essay 3: 30% Class Participation: 10% Incompletes and late assignments: Requests for incompletes, delays in meeting assignment deadlines or absences from class will be approved only if the request is due to circumstances beyond your control. The appropriate Dean or Health Services official must document this. If you miss a class, you will still be responsible for the material. Grades for late assignments will be reduced by one letter grade for each day of delay. No exceptions. Plagiarism and Academic Dishonesty: The Annenberg School for Communication is committed to upholding the University's Academic Integrity code as detailed in the SCampus Guide. It is the policy of the School of Communication to report all violations of the code. Any serious violation or pattern of violations of the Academic Integrity Code will result in the student's expulsion from the Communication major or minor. We will be vigilant in investigating and responding to academic dishonesty and plagiarism in this class. Students must properly cite sources of all ideas and information that are not entirely their own. Anything more than three words in a row from someone else requires quotation marks and a citation, as do important phrases or concepts invented by someone else. When you paraphrase ideas from someone else, you do not need to use quotation marks but you should still acknowledge the source. When in doubt, consult faculty or teaching assistants.
