Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is a "practical research" of our relationship to the media and our life in the media sphere. Students will gain the ability to rationally analyze their media experience and understand it as part of their personal and social life on the basis of their own research and theoretical discussions. The course emphasizes the connection between qualitative sociological and anthropological methods and the theoretical grasp of mediality, understood as an ambiguous co-created environment, to which we are neither passively published nor completely controlled. The course therefore seeks answers to these and the following questions: Who are we as media beings? How is society changing in the age of new media? How do we live as inhabitants of communication networks? What are the psychological, political and cultural implications of the new media? How is my personal media environment shaped?
Students will gain practical skills n the field of media cretion. They will create their own media outputs, They understand relation between media and culture.
