Mass Media today (Tuesday, March 29)

So we started talking about television, in that we revisited the hypothesis that stuff might be media constructs, with special emphasis to the question whether class might be a media construct.  We did adopt a broad definition of class, distinguishing economic class, social class, cultural class, political class, etc., and addressing each of those in turn.

We also watched a documentary on that topic, which, of course, was pretty meta, being that a documentary, too, is a part of media  :)  We did not finish the chapter and plan to continue on Friday
