| Examines new media technologies from a transdisciplinary perspective by exploring how the use of new media is affecting academic practice across disciplines. Builds upon existing expertise in film, literature, and media studies to analyze what is "new" about new media and how they compare with, transform, and remediate earlier media practices. Proposes the development of a critical analytical framework for approaching new media and relating them to other areas of critical academic discourse. Promotes a hands-on, active engagement with the technologies as a means for analysis and critique of new media approaches in contemporary academic research. (ALP, R, SS, STS) |
