Předpoklady
Audience Studies in Media brings together key concepts exploring questions of reception and interpretation, reprinting forgotten pieces and combining key theories with new research. Lectures and seminars thematically address: the paradigm shift - from 'effects' to 'uses and gratifications'; moral panic and censorship; the active audience and reading as resistance; shifts in screen theory – the spectator and the audience; the fan and the audience; so-called female and male audiences; nation and ethnicity. The epistemological and ontological assumptions of critical audience studies are explained as well. Then the appropriate research designs are identified and described, in particular ethnography, audience-cum-content analysis, and participatory action research. In the next step the discussion focuses on methods for data collection that follow from the tenets of critical audience studies and “belong” to the respective research design.

Cíle předmětu
This course introduces students to the core concepts and ideas related to media audiences. Media audiences refer to people and their media practices. We focus on studies within media and culture that define audiences not as spectators, or passive subjects, but rather as people engaged in dynamic and creative practices, such as political activism, citizen journalism, fan activities, or television participants.
Výstupy z učení
First, we consider theories of identities and subjectivities, including performance of selves, key concepts that are crucial to the study of individuals and social relations. The second concept relates to the study of media engagement, drawing on contemporary research on different stages of political and cultural engagement in social movements, news, or entertainment. Third, we examine the significance of situated audience research, where people’s practices are put into the context of fandom and intense kinds of engagement, or the context of everyday life and day to day routines. Finally, the course addresses qualitative methods used in audience research.
