Course/Module description:
The course is offered specifically for advanced research students: M.A. and PhD. It will proceed as a reading group in which we will read one major text (and related texts), which concern key questions about the essence, nature and operation of media.
Course/Module aims:
The course provides an alternative learning space, largely absent from existing graduate studies curriculum. Rather than frontal teaching or conducting individual research, the goal here is partaking in a research forum dedicated to reading and discussion of a text that demands combined intellectual effort.
Learning outcomes - On successful completion of this module, students should be able to:
*close reading of a highly challenging work
*development of critical thinking skills
*develop philosophical understanding of key questions of media
