SoSe 16: Publics and Transnational Information Networks
Curd Benjamin Knüpfer
Kommentar
This BA-level course builds on previous semester’s seminar on “US Foreign Policy and Public Views of War.” As such, basic familiarity of the theoretical background on the nexus between policy, media and the public will be expected, along with an understanding of salient theories of press-state relations. (Contact course instructor for syllabus of previous course). Furthermore, students will be required to attend and contribute to the class on a regular basis and to demonstrate their familiarity with all of the required readings. The goal of the course is to further familiarize students with the role information, perception, and ideas might come to play in regard to international politics. We will examine novel ways in which information processes are being restructured via telecommunication networks and the Internet, along with the implications this might hold for forms of governance and international relations. At the same time, we will question the notion of technological determinism and discuss how transnational discourses, institutional power dynamics, and political interests might come to shape the ways in which ideas and beliefs ‘travel’ and how they might have an impact on international politics.
