Learning unit contents
The course "Public and interpersonal communication in the digital age" focuses on communication between two or more people that mobilizes social networks. The aim is to identify and analyze the technical, pragmatic and enunciative mediations and filters of a set of communicative acts on social networks, in order to establish how these mediations and filters determine their content, scope and reception (from a qualitative and quantitative point of view). The following topics will be addressed: history of social networks; technical and enunciative differences between some of today's most popular social networks (Youtube, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc.); "alternative" or marginal social networks; technical-legal aspects of communication on social networks; updating and redefining the distinction between public and private sphere.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
Students will be trained to analyze a set of discourses and acts of communication carried out on social networks. They will learn to identify and measure the technical, pragmatic and enunciative determinants of these discourses and acts. If the aim of this course is above all reflective and analytical, the knowledge acquired will also allow students to considertheir own use of these networks in their future professional reality.
