Pełny opis: |
(tylko po angielsku) Diplomacy in practice - language as a double-edged weapon. The proposed series of lectures aims, based on real examples, to indicate the role of language in building or resolving diplomatic disputes in the East Asian region. Classes will largely be based on the personal experience of the lecturer who has worked as a diplomat in Beijing and Taipei for the past 10 years. Topics discussed will relate to the historical context of disputes, often emotionally characterized, as well as methods and strategies for interpreting them. During the classes, we will analyze the actual state of disputes, where rhetoric, specific wording as a reference point are the key to understand the existing tensions. An important element of the meetings will be the identification and formulation of the role of modern methods of persuasion for shaping public opinion in the face of the challenges of the regional political scene, presenting the optics of two or many sides of disputes. |
