Course Objectives: | The course is designed to provide students with basic principles, concepts and key issues in sociology with reference to the role of the new media. Its purpose is also to analyze global developments in the light of the rise of the information society. |
The students who have succeeded in this course; - Critically evaluate new media and its implication on everyday human relations. - Critically understand the role of new media in relation to the established power structure. |
This course aims to provide the students with the necessary theoretical and analytical tools to help them comprehend the new global society that developed since the 1970s. This new period is variously defined as “post-industrial,” “information society” or the “electronic-digital age”. In this course we will employ a long-term historical perspective by also underlining key points of radical transformation. We will analyze the long-waves of twentieth century capitalism, the Fordist/Industrial and post-Fordist/post-Industrial societies and the rise of the information society since 1970s. |
