In today’s digitalised society, the constant flow of communication is regarded as a fundamental and integral part of everyday life. Rapid developments in media technologies engender digitalised mediatization processes on all levels of society. “Fake newsâ€, cyber-bullying, the global connection in “Fridays for Future†and constant communication on Instagram as well as the change of political communication and national and international media landscape lead to challenges not only for the individual but also for the society in which we live. Therefore, this seminar grasps the multitude of dimensions of online communication and their effects on digital cultures, based on interdisciplinary and international perspectives.
The course includes lectures, seminars and lab exercises as well as an excursion.
