Multimedia Field of study: English Philology
Programme code: 02-N2FA12.2018

Multimedia practices, whose cultural meaning, forms of production and forms of distribution have been for years transcending the scopes of traditional audio-visual media, have become a crucial form of participation in culture. Obviously, they have also gained an important status among forms of consumption of culture. Acquiring of practical competencies of (co)creating of culture by active participants has become a significant marker of a conscious participation in culture. This course aims, then, to address several theoretical approaches to multimedia practices, their meaning and position in contemporary culture, as well as to instruct students to design and create simple original multimedia projects. Through skill-oriented practice students learn about the significance of selected multimedia practices, but also about the methodologies of humanistic critique of these practices. The course also addresses students’ analytical proficiency: it is both due to skill-oriented practice and through an analysis of multimedia practices and cultural processes which accompany them, that students gain fuller competencies of conscious participants of contemporary culture, eager not only to consume it, but also to actively create it, aware of social and legal dilemmas which continue to rise from the contexts of multimedia-based participation in culture.

Successful completion of the first year of studies.
