HIVK03133U Cph., Digital information and textuality, Elective
Information Science and Cultural Communication
The aim of the course is to provide the students with an overall understanding of textually mediated information as well as its academic and social implications. We will discuss the shift from print to digital culture on the basis of different textual conceptualizations and the implications for how to understand textual media at large. The course will use text as the conceptual basis for touching upon some general debates within information studies, such as the relations between analogue ›‹ digital systems, technology ›‹ culture, data ›‹ information›‹ knowledge as well as addressing which impact a digital remediations of books and articles has for the humanities. Digital ways of addressing, analyzing and working with text will also be introduced and discussed in relation to content and context sensitivity. This addition will have the aim, both to highlight the digital impact on present textual practices and methodologies as well as to provide the students with some hands on experience on working with digital textual information.
