>identify the main point of views on the "media war" in former
>Yugoslavia.
>Further, it will deal with the consequences of war on face-to-face and
>media
>communication with the emphasis on children's communication. Last, it
>will
>focus on the role of the media in children's lives (violence,
>stereotypes,
>private/public spheres, pornography) and will try to answer the
>question
>What kind of knowledge and skills does the citizen need in a media
>saturated
>world?
>
>To sufficiently cover the topics, international professors from
>different
>perspectives (sociology, media studies, psychology, history, political
>science ) are invited to lecture. The official language is English.
>The
>schedule will be divided into lectures in the mornings, and seminars
