Research proposal on media technologies and techno-solutionism

  Prepare a research proposal on media technologies and techno-solutionism (think datafication, AI, algorithms, etc.). How does our focus on media as materialities and infrastructures contribute to our understanding of media in society today? The proposal should include: 1. The field that the research would contribute to (including some previous research review); 2. The idea of the research (about what? what seems to be missing in the previous research?); 3. The aim of the research (what for?); 4. The object of analysis (what and who will be studied?); 5. The research questions; 6. The methods (how to answer these questions, which tools will be helpful); 7. The theories (how to explain or interpret the findings)
