230163 Beyond the WASP / Voices of Color: Language Diversity in US Media (S) (SoSe 2019)
Contents, comment
-
The United States are commonly referred to as model multicultural society, implying diversity and equality of the nation's numerous social groups and subcultures. Scrutinizing media landscapes of the US, however, quickly reveals that representations of non-dominant groups are largely framed and determined by the majority, to the point of complete invisibility of some groups.
In this class, we will look at the representations of marginalized groups in US American films, TV series, novels etc. This will include the analysis of the language(s) and language varieties used as well as the visibility, agency, empowerment, stereotyping or ridiculing of different social groups. Furthermore, we will deal with topics such as authenticity, power, (self-)identity formation, style-shifting, audiences, media types and genres.
