Corso di laurea in Scienze della Comunicazione

Students who will follow the course will reread media theory through the mediation of philosophy, critically examining the meaning of the medium. On the applicative level this implies a deeper understanding of the instruments to which they are exposed, and an increase in judgement, through the comparison between philosophical readings of the medium. Through thematic discussions, they will be able to better understand the outline of the texts they will have to read, address the thorny issue of gender in media representation, and reread first-hand philosophical texts of discreet complexity.
