Teaching – spring semester of 2022
From 9 February, more teaching will be conducted on campus. During the gradual return to campus, some digital teaching will continue. Hence, it is very important that you pay attention to information from your teacher and potential changes in your schedule in Canvas and/or TimeEdit.
The collaborations between different media will be emphasized. Main focus will be on contemporary western culture, the latter years of the 20th century and the expressions of postmodern culture, although several episodes in the cultural history of the whole century will be studied historically. Advertising, television, music videos, movies, literature, music etc. will be discussed. Theoretical tools will be introduced from the research field of intermedia studies, cultural sociology, hermeneutics, media history, and semiotics. Several examples will be in focus for analysis and discussion.
