1 DEPARTMENT OF MEDIA, CULTURE, AND COMMUNICATION Media, Technology and Society MCC-UE 1034 COURSE DESCRIPTION AND OVERVIEW This course will introduce you to a range of theories and approaches to the study of technology so as to provide various perspectives on the co-construction of society and technology, and the role of media in that dynamic. Technology is not merely a set of material artifacts with a straightforward impact on our world. Instead, technology represents a complex set of practices, norms, and values that both reflect and shape our convictions about personhood, time, class, gender, space, labor, race, and politics. Further, because technology often depends on the broader socio-economic, legal, and political context from which it is invented, adopted and stabilized, ample attention will be placed on these contextual conditions and the hidden assumptions that drive its popular understandings. Overall we will look at how different scholars have examined the following broad questions: How does technology interact with different systems of power? (economic, political, social, etc) How does technology interact with systems of meaning? (identity, tradition, culture & subculture) How does technology interact with systems of authority and knowledge? The course primarily concentrates on communication technologies of the last 150 years (telegraph, telephone, radio, computers, Internet) and is roughly chronological, starting with the telegraph and ending with our digital present. However, we will consider other technologies that will help sharpen our theoretical frameworks and will provide a comparative touchstone to discuss the intersection of communication technologies with other technological systems as well as what may be unique about communication technologies. COURSE GOALS The goal is not to arrive at the right theory of technology, but have students come away with a firm understanding of methods and approaches by which to assess technology in various social and political terms. As such, we will be studying the ways in which scholars from different disciplines history, sociology, philosophy, media studies, anthropology, for example have approached questions about technology, society, and politics. This means that we will also learn about the different ways in which different disciplines weigh the value of different types of data. By the end of the course, students should be able to understand various ways by which to assess the mutual relationship between society and technology; to identify different theoretical approaches to the study of technology; and finally, begin to decide which questions and approaches they find most useful for analyzing contemporary issues and debates as they concern technology and society. COURSE FORMAT, GENERAL REQUIREMENTS, ATTENDANCE & ACADEMIC INTEGRITY I will begin each class with a short introductory lecture that examines the themes and readings for the week, on occasion adding supplemental information not available in the readings. The rest of the class will be class discussion, exercises and student-led conversation about the various readings. Because active participation in discussion is the cornerstone of the class, you must come prepared for discussion and with copies of the reading. To aid our discussion, each week, you are required to post a reading response on Blackboard the midnight before the relevant class. I will divide the class into two sections, each one responsible primarily for writing on Sunday night or Wednesday night. You can always write on both if you wish, the more the merrier. In addition, four times over the semester (twice in the first half and twice in the second), you will be required to write a blog post for the class blog: In this piece you will both provide a summary of the thesis and argument of one reading and post an example
2 of a news article, advertisement, youtube video, or other item of media that illustrates, contradicts, or otherwise engages with the week s readings, and write at least two paragraphs explaining how the piece does this. A 5-page mid-term paper and a 10-page final research paper will also be given. More information on these assignments and grading criteria will be provided. Regular class attendance is required. Three missed classes without prior notices or excuse will result in your grade being dropped by one half letter. Plagiarism or cheating on any assignment will not be tolerated under any circumstances and will result in a failure of the assignment and possibly failure of this class. For further information, please consult the Steinhardt policy on academic integrity: GRADING 1. Attendance and Class Participation (including discussion questions): 20% 2. Blog post: 10% 3. Writing Assignments: 15% 4. Mid-Term paper: 25% 5. Final paper: 30% READINGS AND OTHER MATERIALS: Most readings are available on Blackboard. The following texts are required and are available for purchase at the NYU Bookstore: Standage, Tom. (1996) The Victorian Internet Dibbel, Julian. (2006) New York: Basic Books Play Money, Or, How I Quit My Day Job and Made Millions Trading Virtual Loot. ON CLASS PARTICIPATION Please turn off your cell phones before class, and do not text or tweet in class. We will discuss and set a laptop policy together in the first week. I respect that different students have different means of taking notes, and also that some find laptops distracting (whether theirs or other people s). Although internet use can occasionally enrich class participation, if I find you writing personal s, playing games, shopping or conducting other non-class-related activity on an electronic device I will ask that you stop, and repeated occurrences will affect your participation grade. In-class participation and active engagement with the readings is very important, and we will work together to find a way to facilitate these activities whether mediated by technology or not.
