Expanded Course Description
| "History does not refer merely, or even principally, to the past. On the contrary, the great force of history comes from the fact that we carry it within us, are unconsciously controlled by it in many ways, and history is literally present in all we do." --James Baldwin.
This course looks at the historic role of communication in shaping societies and institutions in the United States. We will try to understand mass communication as it truly was-and not to imagine that it was merely a crude model of what it has become in our own time.
Our goal is to achieve an overall understanding of both the extraordinary reach and the unexpected limitations of media messages, technologies and power.
These themes are addressed through a selective discussion of ideas, technologies, events, people, professional practices, economics and politics from the American Revolution until the present. Students write two papers, both of which are based on original research of historical documents.
