Goldsmiths 文化中心及相關課程介紹：
Digital Culture at the Centre for Cultural Studies.

Digital Culture is a place of fundamental change. Understanding,
shaping and leading that change are graduates from two Masters
programmes at the Digital Culture Unit. The problems of computing are
increasingly those of the social and those of meaning, interpretation,
cultural expression, organization that have been core to the humanities
over the last two millennia. At the same time, computing is now central
to the activity of thought and communication and both computing and
humanities find themselves reconstituted, so that one cannot exist
without the other.

The Digital Culture Unit at the Centre for Culture Studies at
Goldsmiths, University of London brings together researchers who have a
special interest and expertise in digital culture in the broadest sense.
We make software, texts, installations and investigations and edit
journals, make books, art and collaborate with others to take part in
and understand the changes computing is making to all forms of life.
Drawing closely on this research we run two Masters and a PhD programme.

MA Interactive Media, critical theory and practice.

The MA Interactive Media offers students the opportunity to equally
develop theory and practice-based research on the information systems
embedded in the technical, cultural, aesthetic, and political structures
of society and how we interact with them.

Building on the Centre for Cultural Studies research excellence in
software studies, media philosophy and digital arts practices, students
will learn to employ advanced research and practice-based methodologies
to enhance and develop their own skills.

Student research and experiments focus on new and historical modes of
interaction to develop a critical understanding of technical objects in
the way they are implicated in who we are today.

The programme will help students prepare for or develop a critical
career in the cultural, creative, educational, or computational sectors.

Central to the MA is the Centre for Cultural Studies FLOSS (Free Libre
Open Source Software) Media Lab. This is a social hub as well as a place
to study. Students from around the world with different backgrounds and
research interests in software development, design, philosophy, art,
activism, media theory, curating, or programming, share, exchange and
refine skills and specialized knowledge, developing individual and group
projects. As well as attending lectures and seminars, students crucially
spend at least 9 hours a week in the Lab with close supervision in this
technically and critically challenging environment.

The MA is jointly convened by the leading theorist Luciana Parisi
(author of Contagious Architecture. Computation, Aesthetics and Space,
MIT Press) http://www.gold.ac.uk/cultural-studies/staff/l-parisi/, who
teaches Critical Theory and International artist and Lab Director Graham
Harwood ("http://yoha.co.uk/"
http://www.gold.ac.uk/cultural-studies/staff/g-harwood/" who teaches
practice based enquiry. They are joined by theorist Matthew Fuller
(editor of Software Studies, co-author of Evil Media, MIT Press) who
teaches Software Studies
http://www.gold.ac.uk/cultural-studies/staff/m-fuller/; with special
input from Bernard Stiegler (author of Technics and Time) who teaches
Media Philosophy

MA/MSc in Creating Social Media

This unique theory and practice programme combines computing and
cultural studies to provide students with the practical and critical
skills to shape the future impact of social media. You will analyse
existing ideas, approaches and tools and plan, develop, hack and
implement ground-breaking interventions.

The MA/MSc is a collaborative theory/practice programme across the
Department of Computing and the Centre for Cultural Studies. Based on
emerging examples, students explore the technological and intellectual
questions coming to prominence with social media and social computing.

Social media, at its most interesting, develops new forms of connecting,
relating, sharing and competing. Effective and innovative social media
creation, therefore, involves theoretical and practical knowledge of
both software development and social processes. Students learn how to
hack social media, how to conduct digital research, how software tools
enable different forms of social practice, and how social media projects
can be successfully launched.

The capabilities that students develop are helping to transform media,
government, social campaigns, NGOs, companies and startups. Hackdays,
open innovation and the power of networks are becoming core to the
future of many organisations and this programme equips graduates to
accelerate the impact of social media in their chosen field.

Teaching staff include the course convenor Dan McQuillan (co-founder of
Social Innovation Camp)
http://www.gold.ac.uk/computing/staff/d-mcquillan/ and theorist Matthew
Fuller (editor of Software Studies, co-author of Evil Media, MIT Press)
http://www.gold.ac.uk/cultural-studies/staff/m-fuller/, who are joined
for specific sessions by leading developers, practitioners and thinkers.
