Course Description:
Media perform and operate across a variety of artistic, individual, and cultural zones, and as such they are increasingly fused into all facets of contemporary civilization. We process media in our everyday interactions and media, in return, process the individual. To this end, it is impossible to fully understand our central institutions, civic and artistic practices, without understanding the associated history, theory, and processes as they operate across a variety of media arts platforms. The threefold purpose of this course is to delineate the breadth of Comparative Media Studies, establish its genealogy, and experiment with its forms. Areas of research may include civic media, mediated performance, convergence culture, virtual reality, transmedia storytelling, and the hybridization of genres. |
