Course Content

Critically discussing the effects of the new visual techniques that have appeared in conjunction with developing technologies and globalisation at the political level. Questioning how the political sphere is limited by biased perceptions of the elites, who are displayed and who are overlooked according to the political power matrix of a given time and space, how advanced surveillance techniques reshape the political-legal sphere, and how these techniques can be used in a counter manner.
