Opis
predmeta

The course introduces the student to the social importance and impact of mass audiovisual media in the digital age, especially film and television series, and its correlation to social media, online video platforms and video webcasts. Special attention is paid to the analysis of the use of fiction and documentary film, TV series and videos as state propaganda and as a representation of the nation’s history, as well as the shaping of cultural and national identity through them. Mass AV media in the role of social critique and as a parody of society, as well as political censorship and investigative journalism through them are also studied. The influence of mass AV media on human prejudices and its role as escapism from social problems are analyzed. Finally, attention is also paid to religious themes in Croatian, European and American films and TV series. The main goal of the course is to increase knowledge about the importance and influence of mass audiovisual media in society and the ability of students to understand and analytically interpret them in the context of certain social phenomena and geographical areas in the digital age.
