| Omschrijving | This course unit discusses how the advent of the Internet has laid grounds for changes in the field of politics and political participation. Throughout 7 lectures and in accompanying seminars we study how the network society asks for adaptation on the side of political actors and discuss the role of media and journalism within global digital spheres. Questions we address amongst others are: What do we mean by network society? What is the role of media and digital technology with regards to politics and social change? And: What forms do journalism as well as political activism take in the social media age? |
