課程概述 |
New media such as VR/AR/XR, streaming entertainment, smartphone communication, and social media not only have created new lifestyles but also have brought about remarkable transformations in our bodily, cognitive, and emotional experiences. More importantly, they urge us to rethink what it means to be “human” in that, today, a prominent part of our thinking and feeling capabilities seems to be prompted—if not significantly operated—by digital media. This course will examine the abovementioned transformations as well as the social, cultural, and politico-economic impacts of new media. We will address these questions theoretically and also debate issues based on empirical research.
The course puts great emphasis on honing the students’ critical thinking abilities, challenging them to reconsider what they might have taken for granted. A side goal of the course is for students to entertain the prospect of using the knowledge gained in this class in their future career development.
The course is designed according to three thematic rubrics:
1) New Ways of Thinking and Feeling
2) Control Society
3) New Media Art |
|
課程目標 |
一般在大學部開設的新媒體相關課程，除了專業藝術科系以外，多半將新媒體的特質視為理所當然，直接聚焦於新媒體在社會、文化場域的影響。即便處理的內容涉及這些場域如何因新媒體的興起而在形式上（例如訊息傳遞形式、社會運動形式、娛樂文化形式、知識教育形式等）產生質變，這些討論幾乎都以實證證據做為觀察、研判的根據，甚少關注新媒體因其技術面的特殊性而為人類認知、情感經驗帶來的巨大轉變。這門課冀望以深入淺出方式，將通常規畫於研究所階段的題材與教材融入課程內容，以提供學生更為犀利的觀察、批判新媒體的方法。
本課程另一重點是新媒體藝術，主要因為數位藝術已成為當代人對自身處境提出詰問的重要介面。課程不會著墨於專業藝術史知識，而是將以文化智識（cultural literacy）的養成為出發點，從廣泛的人文思想議題中整理出理解數位藝術的方法，盼能激勵學生發展對於未來跨領域學術或實務工作的想像。 |

課程要求 |
1) Regular attendance. This includes required visits to particular art exhibitions (at least once, possibly twice).
2) Preparation and class participation. Active participation in class discussion is essential. Prior preparation is expected for the latter parts of the semester but not required for the weeks of Rubric 1.
3) Midterm exam. In-class written exam, covering only excerpts of class readings from Rubric 1.
4) Oral presentation of term project in Week 17.
**Prepare a 15-minute presentation on a topic of your choice. Pick either track:
(A) Study of a topical issue related to digital media, such as those addressed under the “Control Society” rubric (but not limited to topics discussed in class)
(B) Analysis of a new media artwork/exhibition or response to questions raised by new media artists
**You may work independently or pair up with a classmate. The presentation may be in Chinese or English.
**Refer to the class schedule for deadlines for these written assignments related to the project:
(A) Preliminary ideas about your project, 200 words minimum (due in Week 13)
(B) A list of references you have consulted so far for your project (due in Week 16)
(C) Summary of your project, which must be an essay, not a rough outline: 900 words minimum if you work on your own, and 800 words min. for each person if you collaborate with a classmate (due on Jan. 2).
All of these assignments must be prepared in English, to be submitted on NTU COOL.
**An individual meeting with the instructor will be scheduled for Week 14 to discuss your project. |
