Syllabus approved
We were informed this morning that our syllabus for this independent study was approved by the department head. That means I'm headed to the bookstore for International Relations Theory: A Critical Introduction.
I started The Language of New Media, by Lev Manovich, last night. It is incredible how quickly the writing about "new" media seems old; when was the last time you heard someone talking about CD-ROMs? Manovich's book is about as close as I've seen to standing the test of time. He describes the process by which all media-- written, filmed, or photographed-- have been folded into the digital. This, he says, makes them all new media.
More soon.
