Voto Finale

The Course aims to provide students with an analysis of dominant communication strategies in contemporary society and critical competences required to understand the political, sociological, psychological and ethical phenomena of contemporary society and its languages. The Course will be based on a cross-disciplinary and multidisciplinary approach, through philosophy and political philosophy alongside the communication strategies studied by sociology, anthropology, psychoanalysis and other humanistic subjects.
In particular, each year the course will focus on a topic that allows a multidisciplinary approach.

The Course will consider three different didactic and formative themes:
1. Individuation and definition of a multidisciplinary concept; preliminary analysis of this concept through a philosophic and historical approach.
2. In-depth study of this concept, through some classical works concerning different humanistic subjects.
3. Analysis of the communicative side connected with the main concept, using a multidisciplinary approach.
