Challenges of cultural communication of modern titmes WH-KON-KU-II-CHCUL
The aim of this course is to broaden an understanding of the cultural interconnectedness of the modern world. Emphasis will be placed on challenging some of the major cultural discourses that have shaped and continue to shape the image of modernity, both affirmative and tragic, but which have influenced the image of the modern world.
The modern world is a world of interconnectedness and a series of consequences. The course will examine a range of processes that influence contemporary identification, understanding of the world and the processes that have led to the world we live in today. The cultural communication of these processes and their broader understanding within historical, cultural and social processes is an important element in constructing the identity of modern humans. Introduced in an accessible seminar format, this course will bring together a range of processes that influence the image of cultural communication in our time.
From a historical sociological and cultural perspective, I want to look at the formation of the foundations of contemporary European and national identities. An important discourse in this sense is that concerning war and genocide, especially in the 20th century. This is due to the fact that the consequences of World War II were a very important factor influencing the post-war image of Europe and the beginning of integration processes. Also important in the historical context is the topic of historical memory and the discussion on the mechanisms of creating a cultural canon and its functions.
In the modernisation discourses related to cultural communication, the transformations of the public sphere in the digital age occupy an important place. Therefore, I devote a separate block of classes to the issue of the virtual revolution and its social, political and cultural consequences. I also want to look at the discourses of conscious consumerism and popular culture and their complex interrelations, trying to answer the question what
what can be done to combine them into a coherent conglomerate.
Finally, it is also necessary to return to the critique of the consumer society and the threats to civilization, especially the climate discourse, so separate blocks of classes will be devoted to these issues.
