TEACHING
76-338 Media Studies: The Old, The New, and The Dead. (Fall 2012) New media isnt new; old media isnt dead. The term new media itself presumes that a wholly original technology replaces another outdated one, a misconception that troubles any historically thorough approach to media. Consequently, this course traced a history of media change from 1844 to the present day, or, roughly from the telegraph to the iPad. Rather than accept a straightforward linear narrative of innovation, however, the explored the use, reception, and context of specific media. The class also examined various dead media, technologies that were left behind in the march towards the digital. By approaching the very idea of new media critically, the class attempted to deepen students comprehension of both the historical and contemporary position of the digital media we rely upon to interact with the world around us. 76-101 Interpretation and Argument: Digital Humanity?
