Media Culture Narratives and Languages

Recommended Prerequisites

Those required to enter the study program.

Teaching Methods

The teaching will be done in seminars. The student will be encouraged to make a contribution to the analysis of personal reflection and questioning of program topics included in the syllabus, following synthesis and formulation of questions by the teacher. The contribution of the student assumes planned interventions in seminar, and subsequently object discussion supported by theoretical texts and case studies.

Learning Outcomes

After completing the course, the student should be able to discuss and develop in demonstrative terms and argumentative support, advanced level questions posed by the media culture, in narrative and semiodiscursive plans with a priority focus on semantic-pragmatic aspects of so-called media discourses. That ability to questioning must also consider interdisciplinary and transdiscursive plans.
