>While the notion new media is increasingly inadequate, digital media
>play a still more significant role both in their own right vis-a-vis
>old media and as initiating fundamental changes in the overall matrix
>of media. On the theoretical level these processes have been dealt
>with in theories of replacement, of supplementation, of mediatization,
>of evolution and of co-evolution and so forth.
>On the methodological level questions are raised whether existing
>methods are sufficient, whether and eventually how they should be
>modified and how they might be supplemented, replaced or combined with
>new methods such as methods based on the use of new media as research
>tools.
>Since digital media are both used in ways interfering with existing
>media and opens new trajectories beyond the reach of these, media
>studies are also confronted with the issue of how to delimit the very
>notion of media and the field of media studies.
>The PhD course will address these changing borderlines and new
>interfaces, including questions such as what do we count as media? How
>it is possible to analyse the contemporary changes in media usage?
>What is the cultural and political role of social networks, of
>blogging, and what is the role of digital media for civil society,
>companies and public institutions?
>The course will include 6 lectures, presentations of participants
>projects, and one hands-on workshop with Richard Rogers.
