Course 7.5 credits • FIMT17
How do media texts from the past shape our understanding of the present? How do media technologies and formats interact with each other and with historical events and contexts? How do concepts such as intermediality, remediation, cultural memory, affect and authenticity help us analyse and evaluate these processes?
This course on “Intermediality and Remediation as Cultural Memory” will explore these questions through a combination of theoretical readings, lectures, workshops, and case studies. You will learn how to apply key concepts and methods to analyse the use of remediation in different media texts, in relation to national history and cultural memory. You will also design and execute your own independent project on a topic of your choice, using audio-visual, written, and oral forms of presentation. This course will equip you with skills and knowledge that are valuable for further studies and research in film studies, historiography, comparative literature, visual studies, and related disciplines. It will be relevant for work within media production, journalism, education, cultural heritage, and other fields where an understanding of audiovisual media history and culture is essential.
