Pełny opis: |
The aim of the classes is to find and identify philosophical ideas and structures in pop-cultural texts, mainly though not exclusively in films, novels, and short stories. Using theoretical tools from structuralism, semiotics, deconstruction, phenomenology, postcolonialism, and neopragmatism, students look for the philosophical structures already known to them, but also try to identify original pop-cultural ones. Students work in three- or four-person groups. Each group receives a unique task to fulfill. Results are discussed within groups, and among groups, and presented in form of mind map, tree of concepts or just written reports, in order to achieve wider picture consisting of work of all groups. Classes are organised in 4-hour units. |
