[Air-L] suggestions for movies on communication technology and social change

Tue Jul 12 20:42:22 PDT 2016

Hi Paul
I usually use movies - or pieces of them - to explain different moments in History.
I have three favorite choices to explain kinds of audience, scales and medía rituals at least.

1. Robin Hood from Ridley Scott, scene of the people having a comunal discussion, as a popular parlament.

2. King's Speech, scene of Colin Firth - King George - talking to his kingdom by BBC radio.

3. Begginings of the London Olympic Game - ok it's not a film but is useful as Well - scene of the Queen fkying and landing on the stadium.

Three different representations of technology, audience, narratives and social organization.

Best

Raúl
