Asia is the centre of new developments in the mass media. Focusing on East and Southeast Asia, with examples from South Asia, this unit will introduce major regional trends in music, film, television, and other aspects of popular culture, as well as cross-cultural understandings of Asian media. Particular focus will be on the analysis of feature films and television from Japan, Korea, Indonesia, Thailand and/or China, and on pan-Asian developments. These analyses will include discussions of the social, cultural and political roles of media.
