Content
This course is based on two parts, each taught by one of the two teachers:
1. "Semiotics" section: the aim of this section is to introduce a few general concepts ("dispositif", "médiation", "média", etc.) that can be used to organize the analysis of contemporary digital media. It then aims to analyze digital media as part of a particular practice of writing and reading, mobilizing diverse systems of representation, interpretative and cognitive activities, user actions and relations between the actors involved in communication.
2. "Use and participation" section: the aim of this section is to understand how these technologies are used by their users. This part will focus on the fields of "sociologie des usages"and participatory culture. In particular, this section will focus on :

2. "Use and participation" section: the aim of this section is to understand how these technologies are used by their users. This part will focus on the fields of "sociologie des usages"and participatory culture. In particular, this section will focus on :
- the appropriation of media platforms by their users
- Relationships and exchanges between users (offline/online relationships, creation of online communities, exchange of best practices, etc.).
- the participative, contributory and creative practices enabled by these technologies.
Teaching methods
- Lectures by teachers, discussions with students
- Solicitation of knowledge acquired by students in their experience of using technologies
- On an ad hoc basis, short video clips presenting a specific point in the course can be used to release session time for exchanges and discussions, or to compensate for the cancellation of a class session.
Evaluation methods
The evaluation consists of a group project aimed at analyzing and then formulating recommendations for improving an existing media device. The practical details of the project will be explained to students at the beginning of the course and will be available on Moodle. In the case of a second session, the assessment procedures are identical, but the work must be carried out individually.
As part of ongoing assessment, teachers may ask students to submit additional works, which will be used to stimulate discussion on the topics covered in the course sessions.
