THE ENTIRE COURSE WILL BE TAUGHT IN ONE WEEK, from Monday until Friday. FOR 2015 THIS WILL BE 13 TO 17 APRIL 2015.
The module focuses on media participation, within a democratic ideological framework. The starting point here is that media organizations from a wide variety of (Western) countries allow for reasonably similar participatory practices, and encounter evenly similar problems and limitations. The first two lectures focus on the concept of participation, its close connection to democracy and societal power distributions, and the differences between participation, access and interaction. The remaining lectures can be divided in three parts, respectively focusing on power and control, identity, and organizational structures. The course is complemented with a series of case studies, including an audience discussion program, alternative/community radio, reality TV, vlogging and interactive film.

The aim of this module is to: -provide an overview of theoretical approaches of media participation -ground the concept of media participation in a discussion on democracy and power, showing that participation is an essentially contested notion that is part of the democratic conflict itself -illustrate the omnipresence and complexities of participatory practices within the media sphere, in relation to both "old" and "new" media, through a series of case studies that critically reflect upon the intensity of the participatory process.
In terms of knowledge and understanding, on completion of the module should be able to:
-demonstrate an understanding of the theoretical frameworks on media participation, and, of the connections between participation, democracy, power, identity and organisational structure and culture -demonstrate an understanding of the scale and diversity of participatory practices and the power dynamics that explain these differences
In terms of intellectual, practical and transferable skills, students should be able to: -apply the theoretical models on participation to analyse and understand participatory practices -acquire a critical distance towards the optimistic participatory discourses circulating in society -write a comprehensible text on one aspect of participatory theory combined with a case study analysis -work flexibly, creatively and independently.

Requirements for assessment of study
For this module, the assessment will be based on coursework, which will consist out of a 4000 words academic essay in English. The essay will report on a case study analysis grounded in participatory theory.
On the fourth day of the lecture series, a brief (5 minute) individual presentation, introducing the case study, will be organised by each of the students. 1/5 of the mark will be awarded for this presentation.
The 4000 words essay will focus on a specific case study of your choice, analyzing its participatory potential by looking at its power dynamics or at its identity constructions. Half of the essay will have to consist of a theoretical framework, not overusing the text book. The other half of the article will be the analysis of the selected case study. Ideas for case studies can be checked via email, but the main advice is to select a relatively small case study (like for instance one episode).
The essay, which counts for 4/5 of the mark, will be appraised under the following assessment criteria: 1. Structure and Clarity: Is the essay logically organised? Does it develop a clear and coherent argument? 2. Analysis: Does the essay address various views in a critical fashion? 3. Relevance: Does the essay answer the question? 4. Understanding: Does the essay express the student's own grasp of the subject? 5. Evidence: Is the essay well informed by relevant reading and supported by examples? Are generalisations founded on appropriate evidence? Is evidence used accurately, critically and effectively? 6. Presentation: Is the essay legible, grammatical and fluent? 7. References: Are sources cited fully? Is a properly annotated bibliography attached? 8. General Comments
