MIT 3841F/G   Comfort TV

Course Description
This course explores the nature of television programming and identifies correlations between ideology and consumption. It will not only consider what our parents and grandparents watched, it will focus on the nature of “media nesting” in the 21st century. What are the anthropological roots of “comfort television”? How does it respond to communal anxiety and how does it affect subsequent political and economic consumer choices.
