Concentration of Media, Culture and Society Studies (Morning Class)

The concentration of Media, Culture, and Society focuses on a study that sees complex interrelation among media and mindset (rationale) and action patterns (practices) that form interaction in a community that exists in a certain territory or is connected in a network that extends beyond certain territorial boundaries. The interrelation among media, culture, society is seen from various domains of community life, whether in the political, economical or social domain. In this case, media is not only seen as the content and media institution but also as a media material object (media technology) that takes a role in creating daily practice (everyday life) of the community. However, culture and societal interaction also create a role and media affordance at the same time. Media studies in this concentration are also interested in examining the development and innovation of digital media which has led to a shift in the meaning of various concepts in social studies, such as the dualism of media producer-consumer, public-private, dominant-subordinate, global-local context, and other conventional concepts.
