Learning outcomes

This course aims to introduce students to the knowledge of the topic of mass communication in a sociological perspective, and in its relations with social dynamics. We will discuss about sociological theories, empirical works, examples of research and experimental laboratories.
Pivot of the course will be the characteristics (and the effects) of Modern, and not, Political Discourse. Furthermore, we will see some of the most important Facebook and Google analytic tools.
The aim is to make the students able to decrypt the content of the principle mediatic product.
