*Course Summary: *
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.
