This course aims at focusing on the role of the media in reproducing and spreading discourses of discrimination in the public sphere against refugees, ethnic and religious minorities, women and LGBTIs etc. For this purpose, the course will first focus on the analysis of the media discourses, including news, ads., comics, serials, films and social media and then will inform the students about the alternative ways and tools of communication (i.e. rights-based journalism, alternative media etc) for combatting discriminatory discourses. The course includes exercises that will develop students' ability to identify and analyze discriminatory discourse of the media. Schließen
