Oral exam.
The learning will be verified by an oral exam.
The oral exam consists in a presentation of the themes seen during the course, and its purpose is the assessment of the candidate’s preparation on the texts in object, and his or her ability of give a critical interpretation of it.
The objects of the evaluation are:
1. the lexical property of the exposition (5 points);
2. the correctness of the conceptual analysis of the texts (10 points);
3. the acquisition of an effective learning methodology (5 points);
4. the critical ability and autonomy of the student (10 points).
The Course aims to analyse the relationship between "politics", "society" and "communication" in our contemporaneity, in order to develop critical competences required to understand the political, sociological, psychological and ethical phenomena of contemporary society and its languages. The Course will be constructed with 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, the Course will focus each year on a topic that allows a multidisciplinary approach.
The Course will consider three different didactic and formative themes:
1. Identification and definition of a multidisciplinary concept; preliminary analysis of this concept through a philosophic and historical approach.
2. In-depth study of this concept, with reference to some classical works concerning different humanistic subjects.
3. Study of the communicative aspects connected with the main concept, using a multidisciplinary approach.
