Summary
This programme is currently being revalidated for the academic year 2021/22. Updated course information will be published on this page as soon as it is available. We are still accepting applications for this programme whilst it undergoes revalidation.
The MA in Media and Communication: Digital Culture and Communication offers an exciting opportunity to engage with current debates in media and communication studies about the impact of contemporary media on everyday life. The programme addresses the changes, challenges and unprecedented possibilities that digital media bring to everyday life in the twenty-first century, while emphasizing the importance of studying media in a wider historical context.
By exploring the ways in which media and everyday life are intertwined, the programme addresses broader questions of modernity and social change, ranging from experiences of everyday space, time and mobility, to the impacts of media on self and identity, how we access, ‘store’ or remember the past, and the broader environmental, infrastructural and social impacts of digital technologies.
Informed by cutting-edge research in the field of cultural, media and communication studies, the programme is widely interdisciplinary in scope, drawing on perspectives from disciplines such as cultural studies, anthropology, philosophy, cultural geography, visual culture, urban studies, games and memory studies.
The programme is built around three core modules which focus on: - The study of contemporary media together with past forms of media, in order to a) understand the historical origins or predecessors of today’s media, and b) to understand how media change is produced, experienced and negotiated
-
Reflection on the role of contemporary media technologies in social and cultural life, drawn from students’ own everyday experience of media.
-
Research methods and approaches used in the study of media, culture and everyday life.
