Introduction to courses
Module i: media: the primary factor in the construction of urban ecology
- new newspaper history (media history)
Lecturer: huang dang, sun quinoa
Modern media (prints) are the creation of cities; cities are the fabric of the media. The city, together with cities, cities, newspapers, newspapers and other media, forms a network of cities that regulates and expands urban relations, so that the city can disseminate its own life and form a unique form of existence and civilization, and so does the press or media, which adjusts and alters itself and evolves its historical trajectory. Naturally, the indispensability of the academic interdependencies between cities and the press (media) does not mean that, in practice, all media and the relationship with cities is homogeneous. On the contrary, because of urban differences, media media, motivations, purposes and positions differ from one another and each presents its own unique face. The so-called media history (press history) is designed to examine and present the history of its co-existence, mutual composition and transformation with cities from the perspective of “media” (working in the middle). This module will follow this line of thinking and propose new ideas, ideas and paths for research and writing in the history of the press。
Module ii: urban interface: new perspectives for smart age media research
Lecturers: sun, zhou hae-yun, lee man-young
The so-called interface can be understood as the interaction of multiple complex systems, encompassing both human-machine communication and the interaction of different social systems. Cities, as interfaces, are important interfaces with human experience and interfaces with different sociocultural relationships. From language, text to chatgpt, apple vision pro, every media-technology revolution is refreshing human interaction with the world and reshaping the way societies operate. The emerging artificial intelligence medium, which has re-engineered the urban interface through the operation of digital technology, transformed cities into an intellectual interface of human-engineered objects, created a new era of urban civilization through the systematicization of city operations and the individualization of digital survival. This module focuses on the digital urban interface, from a theoretical perspective, practical experienceResearch methodologyBased on three dimensions, exploring the important inspiration and unique value of interface theory for media research, urban communication research, and responding to current media research topics such as media generation, media, media introspectives, some new ideas, perspectives and new approaches to urban communication research. The module consists of three presentations: the first, “the urban interface: innovations in the age of artificial intelligence”, introduces an interface thinking that goes beyond the interface between individuals and machines and between individuals and the world to the understanding of the media at the intersectional level of complex systems, thereby opening new perspectives in media research. Second, “men game: the urban interface of smart media”, explores how a meta-play can create new urban interfaces by providing infuriated digital practices. The third is “digital interface roaming: going beyond computational transition”, focusing on digital interfaces, exploring innovations in digital media research from the point of view of how the humanist social sciences can move beyond “calculations shift”。
Module iii: digital city research methodology
Teacher of lectures: jianhua, gwa, pan xian
Digital technology has become the most critical medium of everyday life in cities. The digital intermediation process changes in real time the sense of the city, the temporal parameters of social interaction and individual practice. The operation of digital communication systems stimulates new communication energy in urban life by reassemblying people, objects and symbols. In order to understand the restructuring of cities through digital intermediation, new research methods are urgently needed to link digital experience with established theory and to generate new academic imagination。
To this end, professor jianhua, in this module, will explore quantitative methods, the integration of computational methods with intelligent methods, based on the case of urban dissemination, and will reveal the application of new methods in communication theory. Prof. Gajian explores the actor-centred model (agent-b) in combination with examples of physical, biological and human societyHow to generate ideal situations through computational experiments, carry out ideological experiments and promote theoretical construction. Starting with the technical intermediation concept in latour, professor pan is exploring the implications of new digital research methods, such as the “digital city communication” methodology, walking methods, digital field experiments and interface roaming, for the construction and dissemination of indigenous theory and mediated methodology systems。
Module iv: digital narratives and urban public interactions
Lecturer: chen chun, lu yi
In today's time when digital technology is reshaping contemporary cities, digital narratives permeate the scenes of many urban interactions, constituting a dynamic and dynamic force in digital interactions, where urban art dissemination is one of the most sensitive and living areas. The exploration of the availability of digital technology in contemporary art, involving digital narratives in the formation of “imageability” and the shaping of “new urban sense”, is an important dimension of observing and understanding urban public culture and public aesthetics. The course focuses on a wealth of practice in this area and is interpreted from a communications perspective. The course is divided into two parts. The first part focuses on the technical conditions and scenes of digital narratives, “media thinking” and meaning mechanisms, and explores how digital narratives generate a “shared sense of commonality” in the connection between everyday life and artistic creation, offering rich possibilities for public outreach and condensation of urban interactions. The second section, based on the front line of artificial intelligence, focuses on the history and characteristics of narrative generation with the participation of artificial intelligence in content creation, and how the meaningful production mechanisms of digital interactive narratives are embedded in the artistic creation of cities, incorporating digital aesthetics into the time and space of the “multi-cosm” of urban public interactions, with the multidimensionality, ambiguity and uncertainty created by cultural emotions and aesthetics。
Module v: geographical media and platform cities:
Understanding the future of digital cities
Lecturer: scott mcquire, paolo gerbado
From the rise of social media platforms to the availability of big urban data and the application of universal artificial intelligence, digital technologies are deeply embedded in all aspects of urban life and social functioning, generating global discussions on future trends in digital cities. This module focuses on the impact of digital media on contemporary urban life and explores the potential and challenges of digital urban dissemination practices around the core concepts of “geomedia” “platform cities”, taking into account cases in different fields, such as media art, public culture, urban design, and many dimensions of individual perception, daily life, urban spaces, etc. First, “the opportunities and challenges of urban communication in the context of geographical media”, aimed at clarifying the digital age media — cities and cities — as distinct from the past, explaining the potential of digital media cities to improve the quality of urban life, create a unique urban culture, and exploring the potential challenges of urban development in terms of the widespread use of artificial intelligence technologies, such as machine learning and automated decision-making, in current urban operations. The second, “dithered/tiktok and city communication: building video cities”, is aimed at understanding the role of the dive/tiktok short video-sharing platform in urban communication in a different cultural context. The short video platform has become an important way for people to present, sense and access cities and to explore the future of the platform's cities by studying the video on tiktok about urban space, gathering, consumption and entertainment。
