【Course Objectives】

Students will study media theory as it relates to forms of capitalism

【Course Contents】

The proliferation of new media technology is both a challenge and an opportunity for business. But these new technologies are often approached uncritically. In this course we will look at how ideologies of technology and media shape society and business practice.

In the second semester, students will study the relationships between media, technology, and capitalism. We will focus on ideologies of technology and its criticism, as well as critically examine changing forms of capitalism such as "informational" and "platform" capitalism.

In addition, you will read academic articles (English and Japanese) on media studies, apply these concepts, and incorporate them into projects. This course is held in English.
