Faculty of Arts
In-depth investigation of the epistemological underpinnings of both classical and contemporary theories in media studies in order to explore the potential problematics related to the student's research program. One of the key aspects of this exercise in theoretical thinking consists in establishing a link among the different methodological approaches as well as with the research experience and expertise of the Department's faculty members. Upon conclusion of the course, students will be in a position to grasp the theoretical specificities of the discipline and to have developed a high degree of comfort with the various concepts and theories related to media studies.
