Re: Request for Help

Hi Will, you might have tried this one already, but
I'm thinking of Richard Dienst's Still Life in Real
Time for a Marxist analysis of TV. The chapters on
Crime Story and Twin Peaks might be useful. Hope this
helps.

Howdy all.  This list has been extremely helpful in
the past and I'm 
hoping you 
all will be willing to lend your help once again.

I am currently teaching a class in media analysis.  We
are working on 
Marxist 
analysis this week and the samples of Marxist
critiques of different 
media I'm 
using don't seem to be resonating with my students.  I
am hoping that 
you can 
suggest samples of marxist analysis that are
accessable to 1st and 2nd 
year 
students without much critical background.  Also, if
you could suggest 
media 
texts (films, current or easily accessible tv shows,
songs, art works, 
etc.) 
that really lend themselves to easy, yet informed,
marxist analysis I 
would 
really appreciate it.  FYI, the text the class is
using is Berger's 
_Media 
Analysis Techniques_.
