| Course Objectives: | This course aims to provide a social evaluation of histories of media in order to establish a ground to discuss human agency in social, technological and cultural contexts. Throughout the course, accounts of history of and around media will be discussed in a fashion that does not follow a technologically deterministic view. It is expected from students to provide critical analysis to processes and moments in history, where media is available as a meta-narrative to discuss human progress and condition. |
|
The students who have succeeded in this course; - understand historical conditions of contemporary media ecosystems, - contextualise past developments in the relationship between technology and society, - critically evaluate the political economy of media in historical contexts, - distinguish various in readings in media history in terms of assigned agencies. |
| This course explores the emergence and development of different media from a historical perspective. Weekly topics are roughly chronological, and a variety of mechanisms for media change will be considered, including path-dependence, remediation, convergence, technological appropriation, and the social shaping or social construction of technology. In addition to “media causes,” readings will examine “media effects” on perception, culture, and communication. |
