| Mobility is a grounding concept in the history of communication and technology. This course uses “mobility” to traverse the history of mobile subjects and technologies from early mass society to the contemporary digital age. The class addresses the political, economic and social norms that articulate mobility as a desirable practice for contemporary, consuming subjects. As well, mobility is examined as key to technological developments and wide ranging, digital technologies and is theorized as a time- and space-based practice that encourages resistance in both discursive and aesthetics practices. |
