Syllabus
Syllabus
This course follows a modular logic - the program is structured to align with the research interests of doctoral students, as well as to present and discuss relevant contemporary issues in the field of Communication Sciences. Thus, during the semester, issues associated with cultural and creative industries will be the focus of attention and reflection, in particular, the opportunities and challenges facing the film and audiovisual industry in Europe: such as new technologies, new global actors, and new audience consumption trends. Furthermore, under the general theme of globalization and media, there will be room for critical reflection on postmodernity, globalization/deglobalization, the relationship between media, politics, and freedom of expression. The importance of preserving and disseminating cultural heritage in a context of profound mediation and mediatization is another topic to be addressed and discussed.
