Read moreMedia are the means through which society is reflected, tested, challenged, and changed. Our Media Studies program encompasses a broad historical reach and encourages collaborative interaction among the disciplines from classics to information science. Exploring diverse modes of communication from hieroglyphs to algorithms, Media Studies allows students to gain skills in interpretation, evaluation and formal media production.
Media Objects is a new podcast produced by The World According to Sound and Cornell Media Studies. Each episode will consider a different media object, from office plants and listservs, to hieroglyphs, HTML, and mixtapes. Episodes will comprise a series of scenes, quotes, vignettes, and other fragments, all threaded together through sound.
Check out the podcast trailer and one of the first episodes, on Containers, below:
