當代關於情感的論述有很大一部分和消費或傳播科技文化密不可分,然而目前傳播學相關課程卻仍有限。本課程主要透過情感角度切入,討論這項當代傳播科技和文化研究的重要議題。在這堂課中我們將看到包括心理學、媒介史、消費社會、傳播科技、性別、勞動、和政治等議題是如何和媒介文化研究中「親密關係」(intimacy)和「情感」(emotion)的討論緊密相關。 我們首先將深入了解一連串影響當代親密關係發展和轉型的文化結構和歷史條件,接著透過相關案例,著重討論這些概念在傳播文化研究中的重要影響。必須要強調的是,親密關係和情感並非相同的概念,但因為當代親密關係中的情感表達和反思方式、或是個人的性別認同和身體,直接對應到當代社會轉型中的公私領域和性別角色等核心議題,所以這也會是我們討論情感取徑的起點。據此,我們所能學習到或進一步探索的除了是浪漫或幸福的文化意義,還可以是孤獨、是恐懼、是厭世、是憤怒充斥媒介文化以及傳播科技活動中的諸多成因。 儘管過去傳播學不乏對情緒的討論,例如強調訊息的效果便是基於個人的情緒表達和反饋進行評量,但本堂課的目標更希望將媒介產製和消費過程中觸發或欲發的情感放回文化社會以及傳播科技使用的脈絡中解釋,讓參與課程的同學能獲得另一種批判性思考媒體文化現象的概念化工具。 This class addresses the intersection of media audiences, technologies, popular culture, and society by examining the emerging and transforming popular culture of emotions and intimacy. After students are introduced to the key theoretical approaches through media cases and literature from communication and media studies, sociology, critical and feminist theories, and new media studies, we will explore how and to what extent emotions are intrinsically intertwined with media culture and audiences’ practices. At the end of this class, students are expected to be able to mobilize the theories to study the relationship between media representation, audience practices, and social contexts. In particular, students will understand emotions and intimacy as a social deployment in the creation of gendered media and consumer culture. Also, by developing critical thinking and analytical skills through the production of a media work or an original research paper, students will become more responsible consumers and producers of popular imagery.
