About this Unit
In 2009 this unit replaced by 101549 - Critical Perspectives in Communication. This unit explores the changing shape of communication in the information age, focusing on the shift from the interpersonal and individualistic to the renaissance of the collective and communal in post-industrial society. The unit aims to contextualise these changes through the study of globalisation and its impacts and to identify, define and investigate the communication challenges for civil society and political action.
