Section Title:
New Media Theory
Section Info:
This seminar's focus on "new" theories of media and on theories of a so-called "new media" environment. In both senses, the seminar reviews a range of theories that have become most influential in recent studies about media. The seminar considers how and why responses to the current media environment have involved calls for new ways of understanding and theorizing this environment, but the course also considers how some of the theories of the "new media" environment build on older theory and on theory not oriented primarily toward "media." The seminar also addresses the complex and changing relation between theory and the changing politics, economies, cultures, and technological regimes of media practice. The course is open to students from all disciplines, and its approach to this topic addresses the importance of interdisciplinary encounters with theory and media. The seminar does not assume a student's familiarity either with certain kinds of theory or with studies of media.
