Omschrijving	We live in a mediatized world, surrounded by and participating in media. Media constitutes contemporary culture, rather than merely representing it. With the increasing impact of digitalization, the linkages between different media have intensified. Similarly, the arts seem to have become increasingly multi-medial. Through forms such as: digital screens, performance spaces, film, and interactive apps it is obvious that media and the arts are intrinsically interrelated. Some argue that the convergence of different media and the arts will lead to one digital hypermedium while others understand the mediatization of culture and arts as an ongoing process that changes our way of understanding ourselves and the world. In this course, we will critically examine the changing interrelations of variuos media and artforms in contemporary culture. We will consider the connections and interactions among media in the arts (music, literature, theater, fine arts and film). The first block will begin with a historical perspective, reading classic texts on the arts to examine conceptions and comparisons of arts and media. The second block will focus on contemporary theories of media cultre, inter- and transmediality, using specific case studies.
