| Title: | Color TV: Black Folk on TV |
|---|---|
| Course Section Number: | BLS-270-04 |
| Department: | Black Studies |
| Description: | This course surveys the explosion of Black folk on TV during the mid-1980s through 2000. We will spend less time on the 1980s in order to devote time to shows developed during the two succeeding decades. We will examine the rise of Black directors, writers, and actors on television shows. Most of the time will be given to TV shows which feature a Black cast and/or lead actor(s). We will read cultural and literary theorists in order to understand the narrative structures and modalities of cultural production at work. Ultimately you should leave the course better able to critically engage TV. Warning! We will watch a lot of TV. BLS-270-04=ENG-370-01 |
