MS148C PO - Media, Space and Power: Cultural and Political Geographies of the MediaWhen Offered: Last offered spring 2015.
Instructor(s): M.Andrejevic
Credit: 1
The understanding of media as being “in the middle” necessarily implicates questions of space and how it is traversed, organized, compressed or reconfigured. The questions are simultaneously crucial to the operation of power. Spatial concerns, therefore, have an important role to play in critical approaches to the study of media practices and technologies. This course considers some of the ways in which an engagement with issues of space, place, environment and mobility remains of central concern to the study of media practices. Central themes of class will include: the relationship of media technologies and practices to the production and consumption of space, to its modulation, representation and reconfiguration (and to the ways in which these are caught up in relations of power, control, and resistance). Readings will range across the realms of philosophy, cultural geography, political activism and critical theory. Letter grade only.
