Through critical discourse analysis of various forms of anglophone media, this course develops students’ skills in deciphering underlying ideologies and implicit messaging. Ranging across multiple genres from talk shows to visual storytelling tropes on television, critical examination reveals the linguistic and rhetorical devices that convey, reinforce, and manipulate meaning. Students learn to question taken-for-granted assumptions embedded in media they consume and produce. By evaluating elements like word choice, omission, emphasis and color symbolism, Master’s "Langue et culture" students build transferable interpretive skills and a deeper understanding of how ideology and power dynamics shapes media. The course equips students to engage more consciously and critically with the English-language media landscape.
