MHPP-Cultural education - seminar 2300-NZ1-MHPP-EK-K
The course will look at today's social phenomena by analyzing the short essays of Zygmunt Bauman published in 2008-2009 in the Italian magazine "La Republic delle Donne '. In these letters the author describes ‘liquid’ world – “liquid because, like all liquids, it cannot stand still and keep its shape for long”. During classes we will assess how presented opinions and visions converge with and diverge from present reality.
Students are expected to prepare for the discussions by reading and watching selected materials and reflecting on these in written form (tasks).
