Description
The relationship between changing media forms and their techno-cultural contexts is studied. Various social and theoretical explanations are given for these relationships. Students are encouraged to develop a critical perspective on the issues together with an appreciation of the way in which forms develop and function in society.
Learning Outcomes
Students will:
- Develop critical reading and writing practices in relation to media forms and their social contexts
- Develop a more complex context for their creative media practice in other media, allowing them perhaps to think differently about audio-visual video, networked media and other media forms and processes
- Develop their own ideas about contemporary media developments
- Encounter various social, historical and theoretical explanations for these developments
- Gain a clearer understanding of the historical development of media forms and their role in contemporary life
- Be able to give clear expression to their ideas about these media developments - in oral discussion and in writing, developing skills in both, and understanding both as forms of media production.
