DEPARTMENT OF MEDIA AND COMMUNICATIONS

AAU1/...Department of Media and Communications2/Research3/Spotlights4/Media, Literacy & Critique

Media, Literacy & Critique

Media literacy is the prerequisite for an active, competent and responsible use of media. We research the different forms of media literacy, especially digital literacy and its forms of application. We see critique as a central element of media literacy and investigate critical approaches to media production, media use, parental mediation, and media education. What forms of critique does literacy lead to? How can critical theory (with big and small c) be employed to understand contemporary phenomena? What kind of literacy is needed in a (post)digital culture and society? What do literacy and critique mean in the light of artificial intelligence? What forms of education and guidance are needed to empower media users in today’s media environments?
