Inhalt: What do Bertelsmann, Harry Potter and WikiLeaks have in common? They all are a product or consequence of the processes of media globalization which are currently taking place and which we experience in our everyday life around the world. In this course we will deal with different theoretical approaches to globalization with a focus on concepts of cultural and media globalization and will apply them to various contemporary media phenomena. In the first part of the course we will concentrate on understanding different approaches of explaining globalization processes as well as the relationship between globalization and media culture. We will critically engage with concepts such as media imperialism and cultural homogenization as well as hybridization, glocalization, and transculturality. The first block will be organized in form of text work, group assignments and discussions. The second part will consist of increased student activity where we will more concretely deal with examples of media globalization such as global media companies, the global distribution of film and television, global networks, global social movements as well as examples of local resistance, fractures and conflicting processes. During this part of the course students will present a chosen topic to exemplify the above mentioned theoretical concepts.
