Contents
On this Digital Media and Culture MA degree you will measure modern developments and place them in their historical and contemporary cultural context and will be analysed through
a variety of popular, commercial and media forms.
A special focus will be the political, ethical and cultural implications of ongoing ad accelerated digitalization within the context of a global information society.
The course provides you with a possibility to critically engage with the theoretical approaches, concepts and terminologies that are indispensable for (digital) media and cultural analysis. It is designed to further develop your ability to undertake criticism and interpretation of a whole range of cultural artefacts, texts, (digital) media forms, policies, practices and institutions. It raises questions like: what role do state and market relations play in the arts and culture?
What is the relationship between the cultural industries, new media and cultural consumption? How do analog and digital media deal with issues of race, identity and difference, or censorship? What is the connection between information technology, social media, biotechnology, military technology, human bodies and cultural identities in the 21st Century?
There are opportunities to explore contested issues in depth through seminars and to participate in open forum discussions, and to explore particular interests leading to guided research and a substantial, supervised MA research project.
