| Detailed description of content |
Technological developments within new media in recent years have made modern society increasingly visually oriented. The widespread circulation of visual content in digital media also highlighted critical social issues about identity, surveillance, privacy and authenticity. One consequence of this is that the skills to theorize about, analyze and communicate digital visual phenomena are becoming increasingly important, both in research and in professional life. The course Visual Communication and Digital Culture is therefore designed to provide students with the knowledge and skills to critically identify and analyze the impact and effects of digital visuality, including how the new media affect processes of communication between individuals, organizations and society. Visual Communication and Digital Culture takes its starting point in all forms of digital imaging, placing them in a historical, cultural and social framework of understanding. The course focuses on the social uses of images in digital culture and invites students to observe the research potentials of these new communicative practices where the visual is used to generate social bonds between people in digitally mediated spaces, such online social networks and virtual communities. |
