In both physical and theoretical planes, assemblage represents the various aspects of media and how they are arranged and organized in order to create meaning. By dissecting human and nonhuman parts of a whole, we are able to see the roles each part plays in spreading and categorizing information so that we view it as a concrete \u201cthing\u201d such as a tweet, post, or meme. In my group, we took a printed book and categorized the various human and non-human components that allow us to understand the whole. For example, we saw letters and chapters as a collective and communicative entity that intends to shape information, whereas the page itself is a machinic and physical representation of those theoretical entities with the intention in spreading information. While all the components contribute and are a sliver of the whole, categorizing the categories presented by the media allows us to physically see the different roles of each assemblage. This keyword expands on our understanding of conjoined agency as each machinic and collective aspect of a mediated platform have different capabilities and levels of agency.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Assemblage in media studies is the intersection of human and digital involvement in the production of knowledge through mediated platforms.
