Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
This course will introduce students to some of the key concepts employed in cultural studies.While using such concepts as representation, power, consumption, hegemony, we will inquire into the postdigital processes of meaning making in the context of online health cultures.At the end of term, students will:- have familiarized themselves and learned to employ select cultural studies' concepts- be able to analyze social media texts- be able to critically reflect on postdigital phenomena within the context of health- be able to reflect on the topics and practically translate these into the context of teaching- have learned to put forward careful arguments to make their points in the appropriate language and in a suitable formatThe class will be based on teacher's input and students' prior reading, which will enable engaged discussions, either in small groups or in a larger forum. Students will prepare short presentations and use those as a basis for discussion.
