Catalog description
This course considers the cultural ramifications of new media in shaping life experiences and meaning. As interactive digital media technologies expand opportunities for social networking, text and instant messaging, file sharing, collaborative authoring, microblogging, podcasting and mobile communication, this course asks how these new technologies impact identity formation, creative participation and concepts of public culture. This course will focus on some of the major themes that have engaged new media scholarship and thinking: convergence and participatory culture, identity and humanity, technology and literacy. The course will include hands-on approaches to media criticism and culture.
