Learning outcomes
|
The course introduces participants to the study of culture. In its broadest sense, the concept of culture expresses a specifically human way of organizing and realizing action objectified in material and mental artifacts. The course combines two approaches to culture. The first part of the semester introduces students to selected concepts in the field of cultural anthropology, and the second part of the semester introduces students to the themes, theories, and representatives of cultural studies. During the seminars, students will read and evaluate professional literature on the mentioned topics, thus deepening their knowledge of the issue and will cultivate their critical thinking.
