Sut Jhally's, Advertising and the End of the World (1998) {Old Skool VHS Dub} Transcript: http://www.mediaed.org/transcripts/Advertising-and-the-End-of-the-World-Transcript.pdf Advertising & the End of the World features an illustrated presentation by Sut Jhally of the University of Massachusetts Amherst, the producer and writer of the award-winning Dreamworlds series. Focusing directly on the world of commercial images, he asks some basic questions about the cultural messages emanating from this market-based view of the world: Do our present arrangements deliver what they claim -- happiness and satisfaction? Can we think about our collective as well as our private interests? And, can we think long-term as well as short-term? Drawing from the broad arena of commercial imagery, and uti...

Professor of Communications at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, and the Founder and Executive Director of the Media Education Foundation, Sut Jhally gave a talk at McMaster University on March 18th 2015. During his lecture, Jhally reflected on the curious absence of resources dedicated to the development of critical pedagogies in the university – this, despite the fact that teaching remains a primary function assigned both to academics and the mission of the university more broadly. Why is it, Jhally asked, that teaching and learning still receives so little attention when it occupies such a large proportion of academic labour?
This video discusses Edward Said's influential concept of the institution called "Orientalism." Consider what is said here in relation to how Montesquieu presents the East in Persian Letters. Do you think that Montesquieu is simply reproducing Orientalism, or is there something stranger and more complex going on in the book?
Arab America Interview with Sut Jhally and Roger Waters on the film, "Occupation of the American Mind"
Mainstream music is the surrogate mantra for the masses. Where once we held in high esteem wise mystic writ of old and it's associated images; we now recite the song lyrics of pre-programmed, assembly line music, and purchase it's logo, and brand lines; adopting it's image as our "life style choice", ala the real and authentic "individual self." The curious thing though is that as more and more young girls are born into a world where they are ferociously encouraged to stick together and engage in homosexuality, they then go on to graduate College and obtain a job as a advertisement or video writer, and end up producing the same style production with the same outlook on female sexuality as the male dominated market before it. Just look at any of the top "empowered female" pop stars from 2...

Arab America Interview with Sut Jhally and Roger Waters on the film, "Occupation of the American Mind"
Edward Said's book ORIENTALISM has been profoundly influential in a diverse range of disciplines since its publication in 1978. In this engaging (and lavishly illustrated) interview he talks about the context within which the book was conceived, its main themes and how its original thesis relates to the contemporary understanding of "the Orient." Said argues that the Western (especially American) understanding of the Middle East as a place full of villains and terrorists ruled by Islamic fundamentalism produces a deeply distorted image of the diversity and complexity of millions of Arab peoples. Director: Sut Jhally, 1998.
