Welcome to the MCM 0100 blog!

Hi everyone,

This is an informal space where we will want to raise questions about the theory and media texts we are dealing with in this course. We are going to be very flexible about the format of the response: it can be a comment on a passage in a text, a critique of a couple of scenes in a film, or even connections between the theory and media texts assigned for the week. In other words, the post can be anything that is interesting or provocative to you from the assigned reading/viewing. Let's respond to each other's posts (but continue to be friendly when we agree to disagree) and use this space to make our sections productive.

Once again, my apologies for missing section for the next two weeks. But I am sure you will have a great time with Maggie.

Let's start thinking about what Barthes calls the "myth" and Foucault calls the "author function" and try to post our responses by (Thursday) midnight so that we have about twelve hours to go through and/or reply to each other's posts.

All best,
Ani
