ARIN6903: Digital Media and Society
Digital media technologies are increasingly central to society, culture and everyday life. They mediate individual experience, reconfigure communities and build connections into networks. This unit introduces key theories and explores the role of digital media in visuality, feelings, identities, power relations, activist practices, mobilities and algorithmic cultures. Students are equipped with tools for researching digital cultures and sociality to design a research project using ethnographic and/or text-mining methods.
