The course builds on the previous course Critical theory as the key to cultural contents 1. The term critical theory is conceived here freely, is not applied only at Frankfurt School, but is also devoted to the nonmarxist authors because their work influenced Frankfurt school or helped generally spread and deepen critically-theoretical approach (in the broad sense of meaning) as such.
Students will become familiar with historical materialism as one of the current approaches to cultural phenomena. Students are familiar with the major terms and concepts of critical theory. |
