Transformations in Digital Cultures
This course focuses on the impact of recent transformations of our media landscape on society, digital technology, and culture. Digitalization, the process of integrating digital technologies into all areas of our lives, has produced new interfaces between society, culture, and doing social research.
Real Virtualities
This course reflects on the emerging culture of ‘real virtuality’. Students were introduced to two main philosophers that have dealt with the changing relationship between ‘the real’ and ‘the virtual’ (W. Benjamin and J. Baudrillard). The issues they address in relationship to older media such as photography, film and television will be related to new media practices, such as telepresence and augmented reality, and evaluated in the light of these.
