It will particularly explore Indigenous cultures, histories, knowledge, perspectives and<br \/>\nvalues. Students will reflect on their cultural background and identity, as well as their engagement with cultural<br \/>\ndiversity. The unit also explores the relationship between media and culture, critically analysing media<br \/>\nrepresentations that inform our ideas about particular topics, other cultures and people.

These are dynamic and important aspects<br \/>\nof contemporary life &#8211; they shape our lives as individuals as well as our collective understandings of the world. A<br \/>\ncritical understanding of culture, media, and communication is also crucial for careers in communications, media,<br \/>\ncreative arts, design, marketing and advertising, PR, and many others. These three concepts intersect and interact<br \/>\nin different ways \u2013 something we\u2019ll explore this semester.<br \/>\nOur approach will adopt a critical intercultural communication perspective and use its theories to think about<br \/>\ntopics around culture, communication and representation, like identity, the construction of difference, the nation,<br \/>\ncolonisation, globalisation, new media, and multiculturalism. Our intellectual roots also draw from critical media<br \/>\nstudies and cultural studies.<br \/>\nIn the unit, we&#8217;ll be investigating our engagement with other cultures and culturally diverse thinking and<br \/>\nperspectives. We encourage you to examine yourself \u2013 to consider your cultural background and identity, to talk<br \/>\nthrough any ideas in the unit you find difficult or uncomfortable, to be critical of your beliefs and assumptions,<br \/>\nand aware of the things that cause changes to your views or thinking.<br \/>\nThe media plays an important role in social and cultural constructions of identities, cultures, minority groups, the<br \/>\n&#8216;Other&#8217; and a range of other issues. Media representations can influence our perceptions of other cultures,<br \/>\ncountries, groups and peoples, and can be seen to reproduce (or even shape) culture. The unit examines the<br \/>\nideological role played by global media in producing and disseminating representations, identities, stereotypes,<br \/>\netc. As Stuart Hall puts it, we are interested in the \u201ceffects and consequences of representation \u2013 its \u2018politics\u2019&#8230; how<br \/>\nlanguage and representation produce meaning, but how the knowledge which a particular discourse produces<br \/>\nconnects with power, regulates conduct, makes up or constrains identities and subjectivities, and defines the way<br \/>\ncertain things are represented, thought about, practised and studied\u201d (1997, p.6).<br \/>\nCulture to Cultures recognises the value and significance of Indigenous cultures and peoples. As part of Curtin<br \/>\nUniversity\u2019s commitment to Indigenous education and culture, and developing cultural competencies in the<br \/>\nUniversity\u2019s staff and students, the unit explores Indigenous knowledges, perspectives and values. Engaging in<br \/>\nIndigenous cultural competency helps to foster ongoing relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous<br \/>\npeoples that is mutually beneficial. It also helps \u2018close the gap\u2019 between Indigenous and non-Indigenous<br \/>\nAustralians, and promotes an environment where Indigenous perspectives are valued, and encourages people to<br \/>\nvalue diversity by accepting and respecting differences (http:\/\/libguides.library.curtin.edu.au\/c.php?<br \/>\ng=202416&amp;p=1332594).<br \/>\nOffice of the Deputy Vice-Chancellor, \ue010Academic<br \/>\nOUA Programs<br \/>\nCOMS1012 COM155 Culture to Cultures<br \/>\n\ue010Curtin OUA<br \/>\n24 May 2023<br \/>\nOUA Programs, Office of the Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Academic<br \/>\nPage: 3 of 20<br \/>\nCRICOS Provider Code 00301J<br \/>\nThe only authoritative version of this Unit Superior Paper Help &#8211; Outline is to be found online in OASIS<br \/>\nUnit Learning Outcomes<br \/>\nAll graduates of Curtin University achieve a set of six Graduate Capabilities during their course of study.

You will be working together in a collegial way with<br \/>\nstaff and other students as we learn more about the issues discussed in the unit and consider, debate, and<br \/>\nevaluate our ideas. What we develop in discussion and interaction with others is the courage to engage in<br \/>\nexchange knowing that we have critically examined our ideas, can present them in a clear and strong way, and<br \/>\nnegotiate differences of thought and opinion. There are tensions and difficult ideas and events in the material we<br \/>\ndiscuss, and as we create a learning community it is important to be aware of any positions or words that might<br \/>\nmake some students feel unacknowledged, alienated, excluded, or objectified. We value diversity, and accept and<br \/>\nrespect differences. We encourage you to be bold in engaging in debate and the critical exchange of ideas, as<br \/>\nwell as to think about how to best engage in debate with others in order to assist other students to learn, think<br \/>\ncritically, and deal with differences of thought and opinion.<br \/>\nWe encourage you to do your own research into the ideas and topics we discuss each week, explore some of the<br \/>\nfurther readings, or just keep up to date on the latest media stories.
