MDSA01H3 Lecture Notes - Lecture 2: Bes, Fox News, Cbs Interactive
Document Summary
Read textbook for details: names, key figues/terms/aspects/people, timeline of events. Read supplemental readings for ideas: examples/applications of theories, theoretical lens established in textbook -> sup. Study guides will specify which details to focus on. Take notes as you read: summarize/paraphrase + isolate key points. Retain knowledge by making it your own. Theories will be presented -> not advocated for: all theories/lenses have their limitations -> lens magnifies and obscures. > philosophical marxism -> ruling class makes the ruling ideas -> what images of success/wealth/power/prosperity/happiness do they give us? (largely materialistic) > gatekeepers: what do they show us vs. what is obscured. > what makes that important to us: basically use money to create norms in society. If you control the media, you get to generate the norms: coming from a capitalist society, marxism makes sense -> money is important in both.
