DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNICATION
Communication 215-3
Advertising as Social Communication
This course is organized around the idea that advertising is one of the
most important forms of social communication in modern society. And while it
approaches advertising as a form of communication, the course will attempt
to show that an understanding of the consumer society as a whole is necessary
in order to grasp the significance of advertising as a social message system.
Materials from a number of disciplines, including social theory,
sociology, social psychology, and communication theory will be presented.
The approach adopted in W. Leiss, The Limits to Satisfaction, will provide
the organizing focus for these materials. On the basis of this.view of the
consumer society the course will examine the historical development of
advertising in the twentieth century. Samples of Canadian magazine
advertisements will be presented, and the lectures and discussions will be
aimed towards a consideration of various theories abóut how contemporary
advertising works, with an emphasis on advertising as the communication of
images which help to shape the sense of both social purpose and personal
well-being.
The primary objectives of the course are to show why a comprehensive,
interdisciplinary social science approach is necessary in order to understand
the complex network of social interactions that makes up our consumer society,
and how a study of advertising that is sensitive to the broad range of its
significance in contemporary society can illuminate the workings of that
network of interactions.
Following is a tentative weekly schedule of topics.
1.
The Nature of a Market Society (to 1900): an overview based on a critical
treatment of authors such as Polanyi and Macpherson, dealing with
the subject thus primarily from a political theory perspective.
2.
The Changing Market Society, 1900-present: using material from Veblen's
and ?
works, plus Ewen, Captains of Consciousness; the emphasis is on
3.
changes in popular consciousness. At this point some preliminary
lectures on magazine advertising will be given.
4.
Needs and Commodities: an extensive treatment of the themes in Leiss,
The Limits to Satisfaction: An Essay on the Problem of Needs and
Commodities (1976).
5. ?
The Consumer Society:
?
continuation
of themes
from Limits,
and from Linder,
The Harried Leisure Class and
Slater, The
Pursuit of
Loneliness.
-2-
6. Social Limits to Growth: discussion of the sociological implications
in the book of this title by F. Hirsch.
?
10
7.
Critiques of the Market Society: discussion of Marxist and neo-Marxist
critiques, with an emphasis on Marcuse.
8.
Advertising in the 20th Century: concentrating on magazine advertising
and on the test of the ads themselves, not on the institutional
evolution of the industry; illustrations based on the instructor's
slide collection of ads from Maclean's and Chatelaine.
9.
Advertising as Communication: discussion of communications theory
and ?
perspective as developed in the instructor's current research and
10.
in books by Leymore (Hidden Myth), Williamson (Decoding Advertisements),
and Coffman (Gender Advertisements).
11.
How to Study Advertising: review of the Advertising Analysis Protocol
developed by S. Kline and W. Leiss in current research.
12.
Contemporary Advertisements: class projects in which recent magazine ads
are studied,.and the results compared in class sessions, on the
basis of the analytical framework developed in previous sessions.

Spe..ialTop1cs in Communication -
Communication and Culture
in Musical
Form: The Popular Idiom
An examination of the traditions, forms, industries, and audiences
of popular music.
Emphasis will be placed on the interpretation of
musical style as a system of communication in the
social and
cultural
life of human groups. Accordingly, taste, fad and
fashion, identity
and self-image, popular mythology, and musical
symbols will be analyzed
in terms of their implications for behaviour in
everyday life.
A thorough consideration
will
be given to the
popular music media,
with special attention to the history of recording in North America, the
development of ancillary industries, and the consequences of these in-
dustries on the evolution and
dissemination of musical styles. As well,
the development of popular song and music will
b.
*
studied in relation
to the traditional musical basis of various contemporary forms.
There
will
be a focus on the reciprocity
between particular genres
of popular music and the expressive behaviour of individuals and groups
in the daily face-to-face contexts of communication.
This course is intended to help the student
acquire conceptual
tools and a vocabulary for
the critical analysis of musical form from
historical, aesthetic, sociological, and cultural perspectives.

is
The-co . urse outline submitted for review lists 12 books by author
and title. The Library lacks 2 or 157. Of the 10 titles owned, 8 -
including the proposed
text - were in circulation,
leading one to con-
clude that additional copies might have to be purchased, depending upon
course enrolment.
While courses dealing with advertising are offered by the Commerce
Dept., the books selected for them tend to ar
p
roach the subject from
the busir.essmAn's and econcisit's point of view. This proposed course
takes a more sociological perspective.
In order to better assess possible needs, I checked the extensive
bibliography in Leiss's Limits to Satisfaction, which is to provide the
organizing focus for Communications
235.
The Library lacked 19 (147)
of the 129 boors listed and 3 (147) of the journals. As usual, there
were some surprising raps in our retrospective monograph holdings.
It is difficult to determine how much ironey should be requested
for Librar y
support on the basis of one course outline apart from noting
that we may have to duplicate up to 8 books trentioned in the couse out-
line and could justifiably purchase at least, 14 of the titles in Lciss's
bibliography. Journal subscriptions or backfiles appear to be O.K.
As this course marks a new departure for the Communications Dept.,
and as enrolment in
the
Department has
increased substantially it would
be inappropriate to conclude that there will be no implications for the
Library.

The minor changes in course title and vectors, as indicated on the attached
course proposal forms are to reflect the current practice of teaching the
courses which I have developed over the past 3 -
5
years. They reflect
nocltange in content or intention of the course.
CNNS 258:
?
The course was originally proposed by linbert Orchard, and therefore
reflected more of a concern for tape recording in relation to aural history.
Since 1978 I have expanded the scope of the course (as indicated in the course
description in the calendar) in line with the goals of the Department's
involvement in media, to be a general introduction to the theory and practice
of electroacoustjc
g
as it affects communication. Tape recording is the focus
of the student projects, but the course itself places its use within the broadE
scope of electroacoustics,, hence the change in title. To carry out this
kind of course, I have taught it as a two hour lecture (to give time for
listening), plus two hour tutorial, divided between tutorial and lab activities
This format has proved successful in handling bvth theory and practice.
MNS 359: I have taught the course as a 3 hour seminar with 3 hours of field
. ?
work or laboratory. Again, the purpose of the course is to combine theory and
practice in acoustic communication at the upper level of undergraduate study.
I am not sure of the historical reasons for the course originally being
proposed as a lab only (it probably dates back to the origins 6f the Dept.) an
I have only recently noticed the discrepancy in calendar description.
I trust this amL information will clarify the reasons for the change,

Lectures: Images Theatre, Mondays, 12:30-2:20.
Tutorials: Group 01, Tuesdays, 6203 CC.
Group 02, Wednesdays, 6203 CC.
Group 03, Thursdays, 6203 CC.
Enrollment Limit: 36 students.
This course is designed as an introduction to the tape medium as a
communicational tool, and to
electroacoustiC
aspects of acoustic
communication in general. Uthough the course is largely practical .in
nature in that the student's projects will focus entirely on use of the
tape recorder, the necessary background in acoustics, psychoacoustics,
and electroacousticS will be presented in order to understand the basic.
processing of sound in the electronic medium.
Specific techniques of field recording, interviewing, editing, tape
transformations, sound object manipulation and basic studio technique
will be presented, and students will use the Department's facilities of
portable tape recorders, the Student Tape Workshop and the Sonic Research
Studio. Four projects will be required, with the grade based on letter
grade average of these projects.
Applications of the tape medium to such areas as media analysis,
aural history, social documentation, interpersonal communication, and
tape music composition will be discussed. The role of the tape medium
in the design of conventional media communication, as well as experimental
sound documents will be emphasized and form part of the student's practical
experience in individual work.

ACOUSTIC DIMENSIONS OF COMMUNICATIONS II
Seminar: Tuesdays, 9:30-12:20, 6203 CC.
Enrollment Limit: 12 students
Prerequisite: CMNS 259 or permission of the instructor.
This course is designed as both a special topics course and a small
class work group at an intermediate level in the field of acoustic
communications. The special topics to be presented will deal intensively
with specific problems in psychoacoustics, acoustic design, soundscape
studies, noise in the community, language and interpersonal communication,
electronic sound production, media analysis, theories of sound cognition
and information processing. A basic bibliography, dictionary and relevant
articles will be provided.
?
-
Student work will normally consist of two projects of the student's
choice. Reports on their progress will be expected curing the tutorial
period, and in some cases the final result of the project will be presented
to the class. With the permission of the instructor, one larger project
may be substituted, or two persons may collaborate on one project. Examples
of general areas in which projects may be based are:
-
a field-recording or
aural history project.
- field work in the area of noise and environmental sound problems.
- radio, media or other soundscape analysis or psychological problem
involved in aural perception.
- experimental project in
language and non-verbal aspects of interpersonal
communication.
- electronic or computer sound synthesis techniques and compositional
applications.
- acoustic aspects of social and/or tribal organization.
Students will be encouraged to take an integrative approach between
acoustic communication and their studies
in
other related fields.
In
this
way, the group's activities will reflect the varied interests and backgrounds
of its members.

Spe_ial Topics 'in Communication -
çommunication and Culture in Musical Form: The Popular Idiom
An examination of the traditions, forms, industries, and audiences
of popular music. Emphasis will be placed on the interpretation of
musical style as a system of communication in the social and cultural
life of human groups. Accordingly, taste, fad and fashion, identity
and self-image, popular mythology, and musical symbols
will
be analyzed
In terms of their implications for behaviour in everyday life.
A thorough consideration will be given to the popular music media,
with special attention to the history of recording in NorthAmerica, the
development of ancillary industries, and the consequences of these in-
dustries on the evolution and dissemination of musical styles. As well,
the development of popular-song and music will be studied in relation
to the traditional musical basis of various contemporary forms.
There will be a focus on the reciprocity between particular genres
of popular music and the expressive behaviour of individuals and groups
in the daily face-to-face contexts of communication.

As you can see from the enclosed documentation we are asking for a change in
the number of credits for this course • We are asking that the credits be changed to
4 to bring this methodology course in line with our two other methodology
courses and to reflect the amount of work required by the course.
However, there is a further complication. For the past two years students have been
taking the course with the understanding that it was a four credit course. Moreover,
they have been receiving four credits. However, it turns out that senate
passed the course as a
3
credit course • No one seems certain as to the source of
this confusion, either in the department or in the registrar's office.
As the documentation makes, clear the students presently enrolled in the course
were under the impression that it was a four credit course. They have been
informed that it will be necessary for senate to rule on the matter for it
to be given four credits. However, unfortunately they were not told of
this until after the date by which they could drop courses and receive a full rebate.
Therefore, we would like to request that senate, and the relevant prior committees
change the course credits of this course retroactively,
i.e.
to September, 1980.

You are correct in assuming that 362 should have four credits
attached to it. I have taught it that way for the past two years
and students actually received four credits for 362.
This year, I obtained a statement from the Calendar Clerk
(copy attached) and passed it round the class to reassure those
students who need four credit hours to graduate, etc. This was
done on 22 September 1980.
An outline of the course schedule and requirements is attached.
Note that 362 is one of a group of methods courses 360, 361, 362
which have a combined lecture-workshop orientation. Students are
obliged to do demanding projects, to present them to a class conference
on methods, and also to prepare their project in documentary form.
362 is taught in a manner consistent with 360 and 361 which
S
?
?
are four credit courses. I request that retroactive changes be made
to assign four credits to 362, as the Calendar Clerk seems to have
done. ? .
