MS 120 SC - Video Games and Media Discourse


How does a medium become gendered or racialized? Whose voices, images, and bodies come to delimit a medium? In this course, we will investigate the role that paratextual fields such as criticism, marketing, and fandom play in shaping media culture, with video games and game cultures as a paradigmatic case study. Historical examples from games will be supplemented with theories of criticism and discourse to create a starting point for student-developed media research projects.

Prerequisite(s): MS 049 SC , MS 050 PZ , or MS 051 SC .
Course Credit: 1.0
Offered: One-time offering
