The Course is designed 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 constructed with a cross-disciplinary and multidisciplinary approach, through philosophy and political philosophy alongside the communication strategies studied by sociology, antropology, 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. Individuation and definition of a multidisciplinary concept; preliminar analysis of this concept through a philosophic and historical approach.
2. Deep study of this concept, through some classical works concerning different humanistics subjects.
3. Study of the communicative side connected with the main concept, using a multidisciplinary approach.
