This course is an organic observation and analysis of the content of media formations and symbolic, mythical sediments, and their effects on you as well as on other audiences, through senses and the rationalization of such experiences.
It will refine your critical thinking, content analysis skills and sense of observation. It will be a provocative approach to the heavily mediated culture we are living in.
Our objectives are:
To investigate how beliefs are mediated in culture through social and electronic media.
To de-construct cultural texts through significant practices of communication, within symbolic universes and the symbolic interpretation of meaning.
To describe individual religious experiences as their meanings are mediated and re-created through media communication.
To explore identities (religious, social, personal). To experience embodied aesthetic religious formations through the senses.
To observe how religion changes the face of late-modernity and participates to the re-enchantment of the world.
