The Media and Cultural Studies (MCS) program emphasizes the study of media in their historical, economic, social, and political context. We examine the cultural forms created and disseminated by media industries and the ways in which they resonate in everyday life, on the individual, national, and global level. Focusing primarily on sound and screen media — radio, television, film, popular music, internet — but reaching out across boundaries, MCS encourages interdisciplinary and transmedia research. MCS courses draw on a broad range of cultural theories spanning a spectrum of concerns all centrally relevant to the functioning of sound and screen media in a diverse and globalizing cultural environment. Through coursework in the Ph.D minor, graduates also can integrate study in such overlapping fields as history, ethnic studies, gender studies, sociology, and global studies.

IMAP | About

New to the School of Cinematic Arts in 2007, the interdivisional program in Media Arts and Practice (iMAP) situates technology and creative production alongside the historical and theoretical contexts of critical media studies. This practice-oriented Ph.D. program provides students with both practical experience and theoretical knowledge as they work to define new modes of research and production in the 21st century. Media Arts and Practice was inspired by recent developments in media and technology that have altered the landscape of media production, analysis, distribution and display.

Confessions of an Aca/Fan: Archives: Transmedia Storytelling and Entertainment -- A Syllabus

http://henryjenkins.org/2009/08/transmedia_storytelling_and_en.html

August 11, 2009 Given the interest out there in transmedia or cross-media entertainment, I thought I would share the syllabus for the course I am teaching this fall at the University of Southern California. I am still shifting some details, as I deal with the scheduling of guest speakers, but all of the speakers listed have agreed to come.

New Media: The Virtual and the False | ENGL 376MM [University of Mary Washington]

Zach Whalen | Assistant Professor <br />Dept. of English, Linguistics, Communication <br /> University of Mary Washington

For the Spring 2010 semester, I will once again be teaching a Graphic Novel course, and I'm very much looking forward to it. What follows is my general course description and list of texts. I thought long and hard about which comics to use, and although I ended up favoring a more inclusive approach than the last time I taught it, there were still several I decided to leave out. I also regret that the text list lacks an overarching thematic unity, but I hope that the process of ferreting out and mapping overarching themes will be a productive aspect of the class as we move through each of them. In this class, we’re going to study visual storytelling as it is accomplished through the combination of images and text.

At the University of Mary Washington in Virginia, I teach New Media in the English Department, and much of my coursework deals in some way with transmedia. Most directly, I teach an upper division course in New Media studies that involves students in documenting and archiving ARG texts and eventually producing their own. Here’s the website for the most recent iteration (i.e. the second): http://real.zachwhalen.net, which includes some excellent ARG post-mortems on our “Gavin the Gorilla.” explique Zach Whalen by marsattac May 15

Hi All, Based on the voting results, option 2 was slightly more popular than option 1. However, to serve the interests of both groups, I’ve put together a two-part option for our final minor assignment. For assignment six, you have two options. The first option is to develop a storyline for a yet-to-be-developed action/adventure video game.

Established in 2005, Transliteracies brings together scholars in the humanities, arts, social sciences, and computer science in the University of California system whose work contributes to research on the impact of digital, networked technologies on reading practices. Transliteracies has established multiple working groups , brought the different approaches of those groups into conjunction behind a shared technology development initiative (the RoSE Research-oriented Social Environment); disseminated research ; and trained a large number of graduate students working at the intersections of technological, social, artistic, and humanistic disciplines.

3D Sensing and Visualization Seminar (H79.2900) - Kyle McDonald Offered: Spring 2011 This course will explore recent developments in 3d scanning technology and the tools and techniques for collecting, analyzing, and visualizing 3d data. Once relegated to the realm of academic and military research, 3d scanning has recently been made available to amateurs through DIY implementations like DAVID laser scanner, or, in the case of Kinect, through open source reverse engineering of cheap consumer hardware. We will cover different methods of 3d input, including structured light, LIDAR, time of flight, stereo matching, and optical triangulation -- and focus on techniques for organizing and collecting data, creatively visualizing it, and using it in an interactive context. This course will be taught using openframeworks, a C++ toolkit for creative coding.

The Georgia Tech Digital Media Ph.D. provides both the theoretical and the practical foundation for careers as digital media researchers in academia and industry.The advent of a new medium of human communication and representation is a significant event in human social and cultural history, and introduces the possibility of new genres of artistic expression as well as new forms of information and knowledge transmission. The study of these new forms, from the point of view of the creators and the analysts, is an emerging field, one that requires a convergence of the methodologies of several traditional disciplines, and one that is also defining its own methodologies of research and practice.

Media Industries

As the midterm assignment for my Media Industries graduate seminar (new syllabus to be posted soon), students write up book reviews of recent publications. A reasonable amount of the book has to focus on the media industries. (I leave the exact amount open for discussion between myself and the student – they need to make the case

The goal of our program is not to replicate existing paradigms, but as an early CMS backer said, to prepare students for jobs that don't yet exist. We consult regularly with leaders in industry, the arts, public policy, journalism, education, and the nonprofit sector, trying to understand contemporary developments, identify job and internship opportunities, and pinpoint skills and knowledge which will help prepare our students for new opportunities. Our courses are designed to teach students to both make and reflect upon media and in the process, to acquire important skills in team work, leadership, problem solving, collaboration, brainstorming, communications, and project completion, which will prepare them for a broad range of academic and professional careers.
