This course engages students in key debates around digital cultures, placing these in historical context and providing opportunity to apply these analytically and creatively to current issues and trends in digital cultures. It places this understanding of digital culture within a wider history of media cultures, particularly film and television, encouraging students to consider what is “new” about digital media, what practices of production and reception have influenced the development of digital culture and how have these been theorised. The course will enable students to critically explore a wide range of issues in digital cultures, from surveillance to web2.0, networks to ethics.

    formations of digital culture
