LIke many of my other classmates, I found Adorno's culture industry essay to be absolutely ridiculous and extreme, but could not let go of it throughout the quater. I absolutely loved it and Adorno's ideas on the whole media theory and role of media in our lives. Likewise, I also enjoyed Tomlinson's "Media Imperialism" as well as Anderson's "Imagined Communities". Having never taken an anthropology course before, I found these introductions to previously unknown theories fascinating. I also really enjoyed the Mirzoeff. I found it amusing that he incorperated teletubbies in such an appropriate way.
Some of the readings i found repetitive, for instance the Prins and the Tuner on indigenous media and national identity works such as Schwock and Davila.
