This course introduces students to modes of perceiving and engaging with media circuits within a global context. It exposes students to critical visual methods and social media methodologies as they learn to analyze and think about the embedment of media forms in everyday life. The course will compel students to historicize media practices and attend to their configurations in the praxis, thus facilitating students' abilities to harness their critical thinking, reading, research, and writing skills. In drawing from frameworks in critical visual studies, students will gain deep awareness of the ways that media circulate within communities and transform modes of sociality within diverse lifeworlds.
