Entertainment is a huge business and an important part of everyday life and discourse. It has also become an important area within the field of communication. Scientific examination of entertainment is long overdue, given the overwhelming portion of people’s leisure time dedicated to entertainment consumption. This course will explore speculation, theory, and research regarding why we enjoy reading, listening to, and watching all sorts of entertainment fare. Readings and lectures will consider works on effects and appeal of media entertainment, emphasizing emotional reactions. Topics include key concepts of entertainment research such as mood management, and the respective features and emotional/social-psychological effects of genres such as comedy, mystery/crime fiction, thriller, sports, music, horror, and erotica. Genres that are less often associated with entertainment —news, political coverage, and sports—will also be discussed from an entertainment research perspective. Utilizing entertainment research for applied goals will also be part of this class in the discussion of narrative and entertainment persuasion techniques.
