COURSE DEFINITION	While convergence of the technological media enables mediated communication to occur every time and everywhere; it also necessitates the constant examination of problematic of image ontology and representation. In this context this course aims to provide the necessary conceptual, historical, philosophical and artistic background to those who will work in the cross section of art and communication and in the process of construction of time-space with the image. For this purpose this course analyzes the theoretical and methodological positions that build their existence by the means of image within a historical and critical perspective.
