Cultural Studies
Cultural Studies critiques media effects research by focusing on hegemony, or how dominant ideologies secure consent through media. It draws from the Frankfurt School's view of corporate media tailoring messages to support capitalism, and Foucault's idea of discourses that shape understanding and naturalize certain perspectives. Cultural Studies examines how media representations reproduce social inequalities by presenting a restricted range of choices controlled by corporations.
The frankfurt school
The Frankfurt School was an institute founded in Germany in 1923 that sought an alternative path to social development through critical social theory. It emphasized how mass media under capitalism distorts reality and causes audiences to have a distorted view by portraying society as dominated by class. Cultural goods are produced by industries solely for profit, resulting in standardized, mass-produced commodities that appeal to the lowest common denominator and induce brainwashing and apathy in audiences, making them less likely to notice injustice or protest. However, critics argue the Frankfurt School overestimates media influence, ignores that audiences can be active, and depicts media content as uniformly influencing people despite multiple possible meanings.
Cultural Studies
Cultural studies has four main goals: [1] It transcends traditional disciplines by scrutinizing cultural phenomena over time; [2] It takes a politically engaged approach to critique power structures and inequality; [3] It denies distinctions between high and low/elite and popular culture; [4] It analyzes both cultural works and their means of production.
Postmodernism
The document discusses key ideas of postmodernism and how they differ from modernism/Enlightenment thought. Postmodernism questions master narratives and universal histories, celebrates fragmentation over unity, and rejects totalizing theories. It also emphasizes local narratives, social pluralism, skepticism of progress, and a fragmented self over a unified individualism.
POSTMODERNISM
1) Postmodernism rejects the idea that there is objective truth and reality, instead believing that truth is subjective and based on individual interpretation.
2) It critiques modernism's belief in grand narratives, rationality, and absolute knowledge, instead embracing uncertainty, irrationality, and subjective experience.
3) Postmodern thinkers like Foucault argued that truth is defined by the specific contexts in which we exist rather than being universal, leading to a rejection of objective reality.
difference between modernism and Postmodernism
1. Modernism flourished in the early 20th century and advocated rational thinking, while postmodernism emerged after World War II and believed in irrationality.
2. Modernism focused on interiority and the writer, used idiosyncratic language, and rejected realism, whereas postmodernism focused on exteriority and the reader, used parody and pastiche, and had an ambivalent stance toward realism.
3. The key differences between modernism and postmodernism relate to their philosophical stances, temporal periods, and literary techniques.
Rich's TIP
Stuart Hall was a cultural theorist from Jamaica who helped develop cultural studies. Cultural studies examines how culture is influenced by powerful groups and media. It is based on Marxist ideas that the wealthy and powerful control institutions like media to maintain their dominance while less powerful groups accept the messages. For example, a company benefited after refusing a refund to the author's family for a faulty product they saw advertised on television.
Sociology of-knowledge
Sociology of knowledge is the study of how social contexts and structures influence human thought. It presumes that knowledge has a social component and is shaped by economic, religious, political and other social interests. Early thinkers like Vico and Marx recognized the role of society in shaping beliefs, though Marx's view that all knowledge is distorted by class interests is now seen as untenable. Durkheim argued that perception and experience are derived from social structures, which may be true for simple societies but not complex ones. The foundations of sociology of knowledge were established by Karl Mannheim in the 1930s and 1950s as he tried to systematically address the relationship between society and knowledge, though the problems it raises remain largely unsolved.

The document discusses critical theory, the Frankfurt School, and their views on mass communication and technology. It introduces critical theory as critiquing and changing society, with assumptions that knowledge is power, people are organized hierarchically, and critical theorists value individuality. It then discusses the Frankfurt School, including key members like Adorno, Horkheimer, and Habermas, and how they applied critical theory to analyze capitalism and its relationship to mass communication and culture industries.

Toynbee and Spengler
Oswald Spengler was a German historian who developed a cyclical theory of the rise and decline of civilizations over approximately 1,000-1,200 years. He analyzed six major civilizations and identified their "prime symbols" or dominant worldviews. Spengler believed Western civilization was already in an advanced state of decline in the early 20th century. Arnold Toynbee also studied the rise and fall of civilizations but rejected Spengler's deterministic view. Toynbee argued civilizations thrive when they successfully address challenges and decline when leaders stop responding creatively. Joseph Tainter's theory is that societies become more complex to solve problems but eventually reach a point of diminishing returns, leading to
Jean francois lyotard
This document summarizes Lyotard's discussion of the two major narratives of legitimizing knowledge - the political narrative and philosophical narrative. The political narrative frames knowledge as a means to promote humanity's freedom, while the philosophical narrative presents science as legitimate based on its own logic and reason. However, Lyotard argues that in postmodern society, these grand narratives have lost credibility due to technological changes and the individualism of advanced capitalism. Specifically, he questions whether science can truly be "for its own sake" if it also aims to promote a specific idea of morality. Ultimately, Lyotard asserts that knowledge may be better defined as a speculative language game defined by its own rules rather than as a pursuit of real truth.

16.11.20 Understanding Performance - Modernism
Modernism emerged in the late 19th century and was characterized by several defining features including the decline of traditional social hierarchies, the rise of secular culture, modernization, capitalism, industrialization, and urbanization. Key figures that helped define modernist thought included Charles Darwin, whose theory of evolution challenged religious doctrine, Karl Marx, who analyzed history and society through modes of production, and Friedrich Nietzsche, who declared "God is dead" and criticized traditional values. Sigmund Freud also contributed through his theories of the unconscious mind and repression of desires. Modernity presented a paradox of both uniting and dividing humanity through constant change.

Neo evolutionism emerged in the 1930s as a social theory to explain the evolution of societies. Prominent scholars like Julian Steward, Leslie White, and V. Gordon Childe incorporated evolutionary ideas with sociology and anthropology. Neo evolutionism rejected ideas of classical social evolutionism like determinism and universal stages of development. Instead, it emphasized empirical evidence, probability over determinism, and the possibility of different cultural pathways of evolution. Key aspects included Steward's concepts of multilinear evolution and cultural ecology, White's theory relating energy capture to cultural development, and Childe's analysis of major events like agriculture and urbanization shaping cultural evolution.
