Communication 797U - ST-TechnImaginaries&GloblSouth

This course combines close examinations of primary sources from film, literature, art, etc. with theoretical readings on temporality, globalization, (post/de) colonialism, social construction of technology, among others to interrogate how ideas and ideologies about technological artifacts are integral to dreaming up futures, particularly in moments of uncertainty and turmoil. Primary focus is on people and places outside the United States and Western Europe, particularly postcolonial Africa and Asia.

This class is open to students at the Master's or Doctoral academic levels.
