Digital Asias

4.0 credits

This course offers critical ways to think with Asian digital media, one of the most dynamic frontiers of techno-social innovation in the world. We will discuss the rapidly changing digital media landscapes across different parts of Asia, accompanied by readings of foundational and cutting-edge texts on Asia, new media, and digital technology. We ask how the digital realm activates new ways to think about cultural belonging, while how digital Asias provide critical vantage points for understanding global digital media history and theory. We will collectively reflect on what kind of digital worlds we want to build for ourselves and how digital media can be inhabited for community and justice.
