It takes as its point of departure the globalisation of media since the 1990s. Today, media theory increasingly intersects with critical work on technology in global sociology. By working with a lot of concrete examples of media production, students will be able to test theories and approaches throughout the course. The course includes sessions on critical media theory; the global construction of 'mediatized' identities and online communities; blogs, twitter and Facebook revolutions ; media and global memory; communication technology and war; satelite channels and their impact on political mobilisation; Web 2.0 (sl)ac(k)tivism; media moguls; direct democracy. The course will also introduce to methodological approaches within global sociology including media ethnography and working with big data. The examination is in two parts: 1. Assignment written during the course. The first part of the examination is an answer to a question handed out at the start of the course. The assignment is submitted during the final course session. The maximum length of the assignment paper is 14,400 characters, including spaces. The size specifications include the cover, table of contents, bibliography, figures and other illustrations, but exclude any appendices. Assignments that fail to meet the size specifications will be refused assessment, and one examination attempt will be deemed to have been used up hour written assignment. The student is given 48 hours to write the second part of the examination. The assignment is set after the final course session. The maximum length of the assignment paper is 14,400 characters, including spaces. The size specifications include the cover, table of contents, bibliography, figures and other illustrations, but exclude any appendices. Assignments that fail to meet the size specifications will be refused assessment, and one examination attempt will be deemed to have been used up. The assignments will be refused examination if one or both of them exceed the maximum size. A single overall grade is awarded. The two assignments have equal weight in the assessment. Failure to submit the first assignment on time will result in the student not being allowed to take the 48-hour examination, and one examination attempt will be deemed to have been used up. Re-examination: The student must submit the first assignment within two weeks of the conclusion of the course. Previous assignments cannot be reused, and new questions may be set. The second assignment in the examination is a 48-hour written assignment, and is taken in the re-examination period. Re-examination otherwise has the same size requirements as the ordinary examination.
