 |  |  Expanded Course Description
| This course critically analyzes the ideas, language, logic, and/or functions of newer media forms while contextualizing them according to their technological, visual, cultural, ideological or other histories. Each topic explores a new cultural form that is native to or relies on computers, consoles, mobile media, or other multimedia platforms for distribution—from viral videos to computer/console games or special effects in cinema. In so doing, we explore how new media relates to older cultural forms and languages (as narratives, artistic productions, etc.), while also identifying their medium-specific conventions and models. |  |  |
