international context, such as Scandinavia or Great Britain, with particular
attention to comparisons and contrasts with the  United States and Hollywood.
 
Communication Studies 143  History of National Media in the West:  Case
Studies (3 credit hours).  Study of the emergence of film/television
within a specific international context, such as Scandinavia or Great Britain,
with particular attention to comparisons and contrasts with the U.S. and
Hollywood.
 
Format:
The program will have two primary locations:  South Kensington area of
central London, England and the Institute for Drama, Film, and Theater at
the University of Trondheim in Norway.  Students will first study British
film and television in London and then study Scandinavian film and
television in Trondheim.
 
On location in Great Britain and Scandinavia, students will have greater
access to British and Scandinavian scholars, artists, industry
professionals, and facilities, as well as films and television programs,
than they do here in the United States.  In addition, studying British
and Scandinavian media while living there will greatly broaden an
understanding of cultural contexts within which foreign films and
television programs are created and viewed.
