Master of Pop Culture?

so, i have been looking around at the graduate degrees georgetown has to offer, and here's a doozy

Media, Art & Representation
Visual culture today is formed by our constantly reconfiguring media systems and forms of representation. We readily recognize and negotiate visual content from all levels of culture and from many kinds of technologies. We live in a world of media and mediations and the institutional environments that construct their meaning. Images and ideas today circulate rapidly through "high art" to TV, film, video, and the Web, and then back again across all kinds of media technology. Courses in this cluster will study contemporary media and the visual arts and focus on key issues like the nature of representation and mediation, the foundations of visual culture, and the social function of the visual arts in a post-Internet world.

Introduction to Digital Art
Advanced Digital Art
Intro to Contemporary Art: Theory, Practice & Institutions
Contemporary Art and the Art World
Digital Narratives
Theories of Media, Communication & the Visual Arts
Politics of Cultural Representation
Images of Technology
Critical Theory & Contemporary Media
Virtual Communities: Theory and Practice


dude, then i can backup all my shit with "look man, i have a Master's Degree, I KNOW THE WHOLE GODDAMN CAST OF 'SURVIVOR'!"

That sounds fun and useful. I kind of wish I had done something like that in grad school instead of just art. it seems like it could lead to a good job. my sister katherine is in the global law program at georgetown.

Oh, Camz. If you do this, you will learn to hate what you love so much. I promise, from my own grad school debacle, that this is true.

    haha i know, i don't think i would ever do this as an M.A., the courses seem fucking fun though, id like to just a few of these.

    at school i had an amazing class called politics in the media. my final paper was on the credibility of journalism now that politics have spilled over even to tabloid magazines! fun class.

you cannot become a true master until you have delved into the sublime mysteries and esoteric koans from the fringes of culture.

such as:



higher learning will fail you if you cannot understand this.
