How do objects mediate and transform culturally specific understandings of the world? How do media shape communication and what kinds of utterances belong to which media? This course offers a critical perspective on different forms of media produced, distributed, and consumed in a variety of contexts and locales. We will also consider how media are shaped by-but also constitutive of-the physical and virtual infrastructures, across human and non-human environments. We will reflect on how digital infrastructures shape aesthetics and social interactions through audio-visual effects and Internet connectivity, whether you live in urban India, Vietnam's highlands, or rural Canada. 09-01-2024-25-04-2024 Lecture Tuesday, Thursday 04:00PM - 05:15PM, Health Sciences Bldg, Room 103
