| Fagligt indhold: | Networked media services such as Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Grindr have profoundly changed the ways in which people and organizations communicate and interact. Changes occur on the material level, with networked media technologies spreading quickly but unevenly across nations and the Globe. On a political level, active citizenship is increasingly intertwined with digital literacy and mediated forms of action. And socially, notions of private and public are reshaped as social networking sites become primary sites for the performance of identity and organisation of community.
In this class, we will examine the effects of networked media and communication on such different areas of society. To learn how to make sense of this, we will read media and communication theories, and in order to think about what kinds of knowledge each theory produces, and apply them to case material. |

The lectures will focus theoretically on reading and discussing various approaches.
