Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This seminar will focus on the intersection between the Internet and civic and political life. Based on diverse mass communication theories we will examine the implications of new media use for democratic functioning at both political and civic participatory levels. We will pay particular attention to the empirical observations of emerging technologies and their effects in different contexts, while trying to place these observations in the broader theoretical themes of social integration and democratic governance. Accordingly, the course will focus on the complex interrelationships between the various uses of the Internet by democratic citizens and the wellbeing of our communities, our politics and our society.
