Anotace

Poslední úprava: ThDr. Marketa Langer, Ph.D. (10.12.2022)

This course explores what’s happening in the world today - and how our experience of the world is shaped through media representation. Readings will be drawn from a variety of international news sources and focus on the significant events of today’s world. This source material is supplemented by texts offering critical analysis. Students should prepare themselves to discuss the goings-on within a wide variety of social, economic, political, scientific, and religious circumstances.

Sylabus

Poslední úprava: ThDr. Marketa Langer, Ph.D. (10.12.2022)

This course has no pre-planned syllabus: each week we respond to the events in the news. However, there are certain elements around which all such events, along with their media representation, can be analyzed. These include notions of Ur-Fascism, Cultural Hegemony and Sociological Imagination, as well as Media analysis by Jay Rosen.
