When registering for the course, students are invited to write a short presentation of their thesis work (abstracts in the making) and describe what kind of ICT or media artefacts (platforms, pieces or programming) they would like to analyse in the course and on what aspects of genre (who, why, what, when, where and how) they would like to concentrate their analysis. Genre analysis has a long history in literature and media studies and is today applied to both digital and non-digital media and communication. The literature, lectures and exercises will cover, among other contributions, the groundbreaking work on genres of organisational communication by JoAnne Yeats and Wanda Orlikowsky, the analysis of communication networks by Manuel Castells, Henry Jennings’ analysis of convergence culture, and Batya Friedman’s work on Value Sensitive Design.
