Dear Media Culture students,
Here is your seventh topic for your Blog Assignment (one more to go!).
The documentary entitled "The Power of Nightmares (Part 3 - Shadow in the Cave)" by Adam Curtis was shown in class on Monday. How do you relate the information given to you in the documentary to the theory of Media Imperialism that we talked about in lecture?
(*for those who have not seen the documentary, you can either get it from U Torrent, YouTube or Google Videos. The documentary consists of three parts, you are to watch part 3 - shadow of the cave - for this topic discussion and watch part 1 and 2 at your own free time. Believe me, it's worth the watch!! Go to http://www.wanttoknow.info/powerofnightmares for initial research on this documentary. Lecture notes on Media Imperialism can be downloaded from MMLS lecture notes week 10.)
