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 and the social web. The aim is to identify and analyze the technical, pragmatic and enunciative mediations and filters of a set of communicative acts in order to establish how these mediations and filters determine their content, scope and reception (from a qualitative and quantitative point of view). In 2022-2023, the course will focus on the technical, aesthetic, pragmatic, social, legal and economic issues related to the commercialization and the dissemination of NFTs (non-fungible tokens).
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.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
In 2022-2023, the course will be composed of several close reading sessions of theoretical texts and the preparation of a public seminar devoted to a multidisciplinary approach to NFTs. This event will close the course. In concrete terms, students will be actively involved in the theoretical and practical preparation of this scientific gathering (identification of the subject and its stakes, elaboration of a general abstract, identification and invitation of external speakers from different disciplinary fields, etc.).
