Course Description:
This course aims at helping students historicize and contextualize the socio-political and economic influences that media technology has had on our everyday lives and how that influence manifested itself in media representations. The study of media technology as material culture through its production, dissemination and uses has become more urgent as new forms of media are created faster than ever. In this course, students will analyze how media technology has developed throughout history and will further examine the pros and cons, social embracement and anxieties associated with each technology and their representations. Students will apply what they learn about the development of media technology and how it has been represented from a historical and socio-economic perspective and reflect it in their research projects.
