SPECIFIC LEARNING OBJECTIVES

THE COURSE FOCUSES ON THE ANALYSIS OF A THEME – THE VISUAL AND DIGITAL CULTURE – WHICH ANIMATES THE MOST RECENT DEBATE IN THE DEMO-ETHNO-ANTHROPOLOGICAL DISCIPLINES, STARTING WITH THE CRUCIAL CHANGES THAT HAVE INFLUENCED THE THEORY AND INEVITABLY THE METHODOLOGY OF ETHNOGRAPHIC RESEARCH SINCE THE 1980S.

KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING

SOME OF THE MAIN THEORETICAL CONCEPTS OF THE COURSE ARE: "MULTI-SITUATED ETHNOGRAPHY" AND "COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE", WHICH ALLOW TO ANALYZE THE CRITICAL DIMENSIONS OF ACTIONS, EMOTIONS AND IDENTITY REPRESENTATIONS OF INDIVIDUALS AND GROUPS, OVERCOMING THE ONLY LOCAL TERRITORIAL REGISTRATION AND INVESTIGATING THE CHANGES IN THE BROADER DIMENSIONS, NATIONAL AND SUPRANATIONAL, THANKS TO THE ADVANTAGES BUT ALSO TO THE DANGERS OFFERED BY THE GLOBALIZED WORLD AND ITS CONNECTING TOOLS.

ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING

THE COURSE HAS AN EMPIRICAL VOCATION AND IS STRUCTURED STARTING FROM THE ANALYSIS OF SIGNIFICANT RESEARCH CASES THAT SHOW HOW THE FIELDS OF RESEARCH CAN ONLY BE CONSIDERED TODAY IN A MULTI-SITUATED SENSE AND, AS SUCH, MUST BE INVESTIGATED STARTING FROM ONE ANTHROPOLOGICAL GAZE THAT CONSIDER THE VIRTUAL WORLD, THE DIGITAL SPACES, THE CONNECTIONS, THE NETWORKS, THE SOCIAL NETWORKS, THE CONTINUOUS CHANGES THAT THE MEDIA AND TECHNOLOGICAL TOOLS IMPOSE AND THE CONSEQUENT DIGITAL CULTURE THAT DERIVES FROM THEM.

Contents
THE TRAINING OBJECTIVE IS TO INTRODUCE THE STUDENT TO SPECIFIC KNOWLEDGE OF SOME THEORETICAL PARADIGMS OF DIGITAL ANTHROPOLOGY RELATED TO DIGITAL CULTURE AND SOCIAL NETWORK ANALYSIS.
IT IS INTENDED TO APPROVE THE MOST RECENT DEBATE THAT DECOSTRUCTES THE IDEA THAT INTERNET SHOULD BE INTENDED ONLY IN A VIRTUAL SENSUS - THEN SEPARATE FROM REAL EVERYDAY LIFE - TENDING TOWARD A MORE COMPLEX CONCEPT OF THE DIGITAL WORLD.
FURTHER, IT IS INTENDED TO PROVIDE CRITICAL CAPABILITIES TO INVESTIGATE AND INTERPRET TECHNOLOGICAL DEVICES AS CULTURAL ARTIFACTS, AND DIGITAL PLATFORMS AS SOCIALLY CONSTRUCTED TOOLS, IN A CULTURAL AND LOCAL SENSE.

THE COURSE IS STRUCTURED IN TWO PARTS:

PART ONE: THE PHASES, CONCEPTS, DEBATES AND MAIN AUTHORS THAT HAVE CHARACTERIZED DIGITAL ANTHROPOLOGY ARE ILLUSTRATED.

SECOND PART: THE MAIN CONCEPTS AND THEORIES THAT CHARACTERIZE THE METHODOLOGY OF ETHNOGRAPHIC RESEARCH APPLIED TO THE DIGITAL WORLD WILL BE ADDRESSED.
