[Air-L] Media Spaces

[Massimo Ragnedda]

Dear AoIR colleagues


I am looking for inspiration for a course titled “Media Spaces”, offered in
the framework of a BA (Hons), Media, Culture and Society.

This module aims to develop a theoretical understanding of the complex and
overlapping spaces in which media are produced and consumed as well as
understand the spaces that these media create.

I appreciate any help regarding good websites, sources, syllabi or
textbooks containing case studies.

Is anyone teaching something similar who wants to get in touch to exchange
ideas?

 This is a provisional list of module contents



Introduction to Media and Space

Theoretical approaches to space and place

Consuming global television locally

Folding spaces: globalisation and live event television

Cyberspace and the virtual: the rise of spatial metaphors

The Internet and online spaces

Videogames as space, place and world.




Best regards



Massimo Ragnedda
