The first part of the course introduces the most relevant theories of communication, with a specific focus on interpersonal communication. The following topics are considered: verbal and non-verbal communication, interaction rituals, framing practices, rules of conversation, the relation between communication and social identities, pathological forms of communicative interaction.
The second part of the course provides students with the tools for studying media, referring to media reception and the main theoretical perspectives in the sociology of media. A focus will be on forms of symbolic pollution and, in particular, on media images and soundscapes. Finally, the social changes led by digital media in the contemporary society and the medial representations of identities will be considered.
