Course:

Screen Culture
This course is supposed to familiarize students with the theoretical approaches in relation to the change of paradigm in culture, in different registers and the becoming of the new media as an effect of these changes. It concerns the changes where the culture of writing is replaced with the culture of screen, a society of surveillance (Foucault) comes into place of a society of control (Deleuze), and the technology of XXI century is substituted for the technology of XX century. There is ongoing reflection on different media from critical approaches to technical reproduction (Benjamin, Fluser...) to transition to digital reproduction and screens (Manovich, Kastelis, Negroponte...) as well as the changes on the body of society (Deleuze, Virilio, Žižek...).
