Module overview

Digital media shape the world around us, but they emerge from longer histories rooted in specific social, cultural, industrial, and technological contexts. This module will introduce students to these contexts and histories, and provide a critical understanding of the ways in which contemporary forms of digital culture expand and develop our traditional media landscape.
