Thinking About Honours in Media Culture Technology (MCT)?

The current Honours Seminar for MCT is BODIES, TECHNOLOGY AND MEDIA.----The course investigates the major developments and current debates in cultural theory as they relate to contemporary media (and mediatisation) with a particular focus on the technical and cultural entanglements of mobility, bodies and media. How do emerging technologies impact upon the body, how it moves, what it can perceive and do, and how it, in turn, is perceived and acted upon? In order to explore these questions, we will be taking an arc through key texts by Foucault and interspersing them with insights from Benjamin, Deleuze, Massumi and Virilio. In particular, we will be applying their concepts to case studies in cultural media – from Butoh to Biometrics, Film Screens to Computer screens and beyond. We will be thinking through such questions as what is a body and what new spaces, visions and experiences are possible in contemporary culture.

from 2009, S2, Global Media: Markets, Cultures and Flows (Level 2 6 UOC)

Global Media: Markets, Cultures and Flows focuses on the relationship between media and globalisation. We will examine the history of international trade flows in audiovisual goods and services and explore how these have changed through global trends toward regionalisation, counter flow and the increasing transnational production and distribution of media. Newly emerging forms of culture and identity based on the experience of cosmopolitanism, hybridity and diaspora will be examined in detail in relation to media forms such as television formats and drama programs, networked media, film and music. Students completing this course will receive a thorough grounding in the way media contribute to the intensification of our experience of the world as a whole, which will pave the way for further study in international and transnational media.
