Learning unit contents
The course "Public and interpersonal communication in the digital age" focuses on communication between two or more people that mobilizes social networks and the social web. The aim is to identify and analyze the technical, pragmatic and enunciative mediations and filters of a set of communicative acts in order to establish how these mediations and filters determine their content, scope and reception (from a qualitative and quantitative point of view). In 2023-2024, the course will focus on the technical, aesthetic, pragmatic, social, legal and economic issues related to the commercialization and the dissemination of AI.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
Students will be trained to analyze a set of discourses and acts of communication carried out on and by AI driven devices. They will learn to identify and measure the technical, pragmatic and enunciative determinants of these discourses and acts. If the aim of this course is above all reflective and analytical, the knowledge acquired will also allow students to consider their own use of these devices in their future professional reality.
