COM 207 Tools and Techniques of the Digital Age
Tools and Techniques of the Digital Age
Class hours: 21
Credits (ECTS): 3
LM-CU – Specialization in Communication Peace and Dialogue
Year: 2nd
Term: 2nd
Course held in Italian
Il corso mira ad offrire una “cassetta degli attrezzi” – concettuale e per quanto possibile operativa – per poter svolgere la propria professione, qualsiasi essa sia, capendo e usando gli strumenti mediatici, digitali in particolare, fino a giungere ad una lettura della comunicazione e dell’informazione che tragga ispirazione anche dal pensiero carismatico di Chiara Lubich, Igino Giordani e Pasquale Foresi.
Il corso si dividerà perciò in due parti, avvalendosi di didattica frontale e partecipativa e del contributo di alcuni esperti nei singoli settori. La prima parte riguarderà: la storia dei media e delle teorie dei media; una presentazione critica dei media nel loro complesso e presi singolarmente con particolare attenzione agli sviluppi determinati dal digitale sui vecchi media e l’apparizione di nuovi media; le implicazioni psicologiche, economiche, sociali, politiche e anche spirituali dell’uso generalizzato e prolungato dei media, soprattutto digitali. La seconda parte approfondirà, attraverso laboratori, un medium a scelta (stampa, tv, cinema) e un tema particolare riguardante quel dato medium.
