Considering Contemporary Media Society / Reading Media Texts and Contents
With the development of information technology, society is highly informed. As new media emerge with new information technology, we are no more only information receivers but need to initiatively and autonomously participate in media society. Thus it becomes more important to examine cultural and ideological background of our global/local media society than ever.
In order to academically examine the way of media that supports contemporary information society, our laboratory makes research on contemporary media and communication, focusing on history, ideology, culture, art, design and disaster information, with (1) critical view, (2) practical attitude, and (3) collaborative dialog.
Another research subject is analyzing media content in various media. The aim is to interpret the content in the context of the historical and social background of the cultural region in which the content was disseminated, and to consider the significance and influence of media from multiple perspectives in greater depth.
