Communication 497NM - ST-New Media Theory

This course introduces recent developments in media theory and criticism. Rather than focusing on media contents/texts and the effects these texts are supposed to produce in media consumers, new media theory seeks to analyze media as forms or practices by which knowledge and representations are made possible. This is a reading-intensive course. Reading materials include B. Latour, F. Kittler, P. Szendy, and others.

Open to Senior and Junior Communication majors only.
