Graduates are enabled to question the tension between communication, media technologies and democracy. They are able to locate processes triggered by technological advances in terms of media history, to name their current specifics and to identify relevant fields of action.

Providing basic knowledge about theories and models of media dynamics and the complexity of social transformation processes associated with digitisation, medialisation, globalisation and individualisation.

In this VU we want to deal with different topics that deal with media dynamics and social change. These topics are to be prepared for the public as a result of the confrontation - for this purpose, their processing and presentation will take place via the institute's Instagram account. Together we want to reflect on the processed topics with regard to tensions between communication, media technologies and democracy.
