Sažetak
In this presentation, I reflect on the development of the optional graduate course “Media and the City”, which I have convened at the University of Zagreb since 2011. Intended for (both Croatian and international) students specialising in media and journalism, the course faced a challenging requirement from the start, in terms of both teaching and learning: a sound engagement with issues usually taught elsewhere, within urban studies, architecture and anthropology. At all points of the pedagogic process (teaching, seminar workshops, providing course materials, assessment), issues like representation, identity, and technology were made into central approaches to the understanding of phenomena such as ornamented façades, neighbourhood soundscapes, and the infrastructure of global cities. In turn, by not only reviewing the relevant canons, but also engaging students in the production of audiovisual coursework and embarking on ‘urban walks’, usual notions of ‘media’ – and ‘the city’ – were not merely juxtaposed but transformed, beginning to provide a multidimensional depth of field.
