The course introduces the student to the social importance and
impact of mass audiovisual media in the digital age, especially
film and television series, and its correlation to social media,
online video platforms and video webcasts. Special attention is
paid to the analysis of the use of fiction and documentary film, TV
series and videos as state propaganda and as a representation of
the nation’s history, as well as the shaping of cultural and national
identity through them. Mass AV media in the role of social
critique and as a parody of society, as well as political censorship
and investigative journalism through them are also studied. The
influence of mass AV media on human prejudices and its role as
escapism from social problems are analyzed. Finally, attention is
also paid to religious themes in Croatian, European and American
films and TV series. The main goal of the course is to increase
knowledge about the importance and influence of mass
audiovisual media in society and the ability of students to
understand and analytically interpret them in the context of
certain social phenomena and geographical areas in the digital
age.
