COM 50340 Audience Analysis in an Interactive Age

The primary subject of examination for this course will be the growing body of both scholarly academic and practical professional examination of media audience behavior analysis in an increasingly interactive digital media environment. Students will concentrate on the work of scholars and media industry professionals whose interest is in how interactive users make sense, or meaning, of the social, cultural, and political dimensions of an increasingly mediated world. Particular questions that those interests raise about the meaning of the concept of "activity" itself, including intention, intensity, purpose, etc. will be explored.
