Media, Technology and Culture
Classes
There are no classes currently available for registration.
Overview
Our Media, Technology and Culture short course takes a detailed and expansive look at how we might understand what media are and why we worry about them. It explores different theoretical approaches to the relationship between media, technology and society - a subject of both hopes and anxieties - historically, in the present day and in projections of the future.
Three main areas are covered:
- Media understood as technological mediums of communication
- Media as 'the media', or the complex interactions of media producers, audiences and regulation
- Media as embodying 'the new', where you will explore recent debates around the implications and definition of so-called 'new media'
Assessment is via a workbook (45%), 3000-word essay (45%), reading discussant (5%) and class/online participation (5%).
