Topics in Digital Media: Digital Media and Materiality

This seminar will introduce students to the range of recent materialist research, while at the same time maintaining a skepticism about claims of the "newness" of this approach and the coherence or unity of the "material turn" in social theory. While including materialist media theory, the course will also focus on the elemental aspects of digital media "from codes and circuits to power generation and storage" in order to assess the usefulness of materialist and infrastructural analytics for understanding contemporary media systems.
