NAIS 30.31 Fame, Status, and Indigeneity

The study of fame, status, and new media isn’t merely a study of the famous, the celebrated, or the infamous—it is a critical study about the human and how we experience and understand belonging, memory, storying, time, mystery, and (im)mortality. In many ways, then, the study of fame and its technologies are also a study into the anxieties that emerge from our connections to or disconnections from the world around us. Given such understandings, this course situates fame, status, and new media as a way of knowing, understanding, and relating to the world around us.

This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
