Cíle předmětu
This lecture series introduces students to the key characteristics and developments in the media industries and media work. It aims to enhance students’ knowledge and understanding of the ways and conditions under which media texts are produced. The lectures will address socio-economic and political developments on a macro-level as well as the organisation and management of media production on a micro-level. The aim is to introduce students to a variety of relevant concepts, theories and scholars that aim to capture and explain the actions and attitudes of media producers and organisations. This is intended to enable students to evaluate contemporary developments in the media industries. The main focus will be on scholarship and developments concerning media industries and media production in the Western World, especially Europe and the USA.
Výstupy z učení
Upon completion students should be able to:
• Analyse and construct arguments about (1) the role of the media industries and media production in societies and (2) the organisation and experience of creative work in the media industries, with appropriate and critical use of concepts, theories and evidence.
• Outline the main debates relevant to an understanding of the media industries and media labour.
• Interpret and critically assess evidence and explanations of media work and processes relevant to media industries.
• Examine media forms critically with appropriate reference to the social and cultural contexts in which they were produced and consumed.
Osnova
  • Lecture 1: Introduction: Why study Media Industries and Media Production?
  • This lecture introduces media industries and discusses why studying them matters. It considers related scholarship in its contemporary socio-economic and political context and addresses the importance of researching production and work for understanding the media industries.
  • Lecture 2: Media Industries: Features and Developments
  • This lecture discusses primary characteristics of the media industries based on the particular challenges for and responses of media organisations in a modern, industrialised, capitalist context. It explores key conditions and developments that shape them, including the role of policy, technology and culture.
  • Lecture 3: Media Labour I: Flexible Work, Precarity and Exploitation
  • This lecture discusses how the features of the media industries affect the experience of media work. It introduces key concepts and theories in current critical media labour research including precarity and exploitation as a result of flexible employment.
  • Lecture 4: Media Labour II: Autonomy, Alianation and Resistance
  • This lecture continues the focus on the experience of work in the media industries and related scholarship with an emphasis on worker agency. It considers the value of concepts such as alienation, autonomy and the opportunity for resistance.
  • Lecture 5: Researching Media Production: Production Ethnography
  • This lecture focuses on methodological approaches to studying media production and expands on the challenges and opportunities of ethnographic methods and semi-structured interviews as central methods of production studies.
  • Lecture 6: Researching Media Production: Production Studies as a Field
  • This lecture focuses on the empirical application of concepts and methods in media production research. It discusses Media Production Studies as a disciplinary field and draws on a specific ethnographic production study in German and British television production to illustrate how this work can make a contribution to understanding of why media texts take the form they do.

Informace učitele
Dr. Anna Zoellner joined the School of Media and Communication at the University of Leeds as Lecturer in Media Industries in 2011. She also has a professional background in film and television production and worked as researcher, assistant producer and production manager in independent documentary production in Germany and the UK for several years. Her research interests lie at the intersection of cultural/media industries, media production research, television studies, and critical cultural labour studies. In 2010 she completed her PhD thesis at the University of Leeds, which focuses on the development process of documentary programmes for television. Through ethnographic media production research applying participant observation and semi-structured interviews in the UK and Germany, the research explores the way in which production structures and their economic imperatives impact on the conditions experienced in independent production and the creation of new documentary texts. Recent research projects include an international comparative study that examined the conditions and responses of local radio and television in a digital environment in the UK, US and Germany. Dr. Anna Zoellner is currently working on a project that investigates producers' perceptions of professionalism in television production.
