Real Time Narratives - Social Media and Beyond

Course Description

To say that social media has profoundly affected the sense of self and viewership today would be stating the obvious. However, there is another complex, and sometimes overlooked, aspect of this phenomenon. It creates a new ephemeral live condition today where to be in sync with the physical time of others doesn’t necessarily mean that one has to be in their presence. This course examines this unique version of real-time, simultaneity, distance and participation.
