Kurzfassung:
Introduction: Primarily aimed at undergraduates studying history, media studies, or cultural studies, this term-long nine-week unit explores the changing and complex relationships between the media and everyday life from the eighteenth to the twentieth century. Rather than focusing simply on the history of media industries, institutions, or texts, the unit examines a range of ways in which media shape--and are shaped by--everyday life as they are put to use in a range of historical and national contexts. Carefully avoiding technological determinism, it is designed to enable students to understand the role of different media in the experience of modernity, from the sights and sounds of the nineteenth-century city to the rhythms and practices of the interwar home. The unit is organized around a series of key themes to enable students to develop more in-depth knowledge of a series of issues such as media and the senses; the media and everyday life in interwar Britain; and the media and consumer culture. Questions of identity are highlighted through an examination of issues such as gender, nation, and age. The unit offers opportunities for students to consolidate their own learning, analyze primary sources, and use audiovisual resources to enhance their directed learning
