Learning unit contents
The course "Public and interpersonal communication in the digital age" focuses on communication between two or more people that mobilizes social networks and the social web. The aim is to identify and analyze the technical, pragmatic and enunciative mediations and filters of a set of communicative acts in order to establish how these mediations and filters determine their content, scope and reception (from a qualitative and quantitative point of view). The course will focus on the technical, aesthetic, pragmatic, social, legal and economic issues related to different themes, including blockchain, NFTs, artificial intelligence and internet participation (social networks). Firmly attached a medial-educational perspective, the overall aim of this course is above all analytical and critical.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
Students will be trained to analyze a set of discourses and acts of communication about internet. They will learn to identify and measure the technical, political, pragmatic and enunciative determinants of these discourses and acts. If the aim of this course is above all reflective and analytical, the knowledge acquired will also allow students to consider their own position about the subject in their future professional reality.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Students who are not enrolled in the Master program in multilingual communication specializing in "Digital media education" will be required to attend an extra session dedicated to a general introduction to the issues and main paradigms of media education, supplemented by a portfolio of readings the assimilation of which will be assessed by a written test during the first term.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course will be composed of several close reading sessions of theoretical texts by the teachers, and the preparation of an individual work devoted to a media education oriented approach to internet communication.
