Lecture, three and one half hours. Question of what diversity and culture mean in era of distributed networks and massive technological diffusion looms. Part of this involves problem of how to work with differing ways of knowing, with differing ontologies. It is now widely accepted that global cultures and communities differ in way they practice knowledge, understanding, and making meaning of their worlds. How we draw boundaries around culture and community has become increasingly complicated, as culture becomes increasingly mediated and community has elements of local place and global imagination. How are political, economic, and cultural identities being shaped in global media culture? How does this shape nature of how power functions? How does this impact heritage, economy, politics, and identity? Letter grading.
