ENGFLM 0570 - INTRODUCTION TO NEW MEDIA


Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
Over the past two decades, so-called "new media" -- ranging from television, computers, digital image production, video games, to the internet -- have begun to supplant the social and cultural prominence of film and other traditional media. This course will provide an introduction to a critical approach to new media. We'll look at how these media work: at the history and theory of their development, at the changes they have brought about in a broader media culture, and at their social status and significance (e.g., The place they occupy in culture, the kinds of interactions they make possible).
