Course Summary

This course will explore critical approaches to digital culture and its impact on the Humanities. From A.I. to gaming, the course will closely analyse different forms of digital media and their social, political, and cultural impacts. The course is divided into three sections: the first section considers past encounters between emerging forms of technology and the cultures that housed them; the second section turns to our present ‘digital revolution’; the final section looks to the future to question whether the digital is a necessary ally to ensure that the humanities are continuing to communicate with, and adapt to, the needs of our contemporary, digitised society.
