SoSe 20: Key Concepts in Digital Communication Research
Ulrike Klinger
Kommentar
The seminar seeks to deepen the understanding of key concepts of digital communication - both from a theoretical and empirical perspective. Each seminar session will focus on one key term: Affordances, Algorithms, Connective Action, Crowds and Imagined Audiences, Disinformation and “Fake News”, Echo Chambers and Filter Bubbles, Network Media Logic, Platforms, Surveillance Capitalism, and Virality (Note: the list may change). By addressing these central concepts, we approach digital communication from different perspectives, theoretical schools and levels of analysis.

There will be opportunities for video meetings or consultations with the instructor throughout the semester.
