INTER 125 Alone Together: Identity and Writing in the Age of Social Media
10 Cr.
In the age of social networking, are we more than the sum of our "Likes" and status updates? What part of our identity, individual and collective, is digital? Wrestle with whether life on the screen, --and by extension, popular culture--shapes society, or if society defines popular culture by studying literature, television, music, film, and more. Themes include social construction, development of self in community, advertising, media studies, social problems, and the conscious creation of identity. Earn 10 credits from SOC& 101 or SOC& 210 and CES 200, ENGL& 101, ENGL 271 ENGL 272, or ENGL& 111.
