Offered: Synopsis: The unit reviews nineteenth and twentieth-century accounts of the relation between media, culture and power. It does this by summarising historically dominant political doctrines (liberal-democratic, conservative, Marxist) and conceptions of society within which accounts of media have been framed. It identifies how these have worked with different conceptions of the 'individual', 'the people' and 'the public'. It discusses the role of media in terms of the governance of populations, conceived as the formative guidance of people's attributes, conduct and social relations.
