Mediestudier: Aktuella perspektiv och forskningsfrågor

Advanced level course in Cinema Studies. This course provides analytical tools for critically investigating contemporary media culture. By emphasizing "keywords", i.e. concepts, theories, and methodologies, the course offers an overview of key debates within contemporary cinema studies.

The course offers critical and analytical tools for the study of contemporary media culture. By focusing on concepts, theories and methodological perspectives in media research, the course provides an overview of the current research situation and is especially suitable for students who are planning or already writing master's theses. During the course, both traditional media (TV, press, film, radio) and the digital media culture will be studied in order to provide critical perspectives on media technological change, production and reception practices as well as the changing cultural and social significance of media. Particular attention is paid to media convergence versus media specificity, intermediality and transmedial storytelling, new forms of media use and screen cultures in transformation.
