Poslední úprava: Gerardo Costabile Nicoletta, Ph.D. (15.02.2023)
Course rationale and aims Through a series of lectures, seminars, independent study and feedback sessions, communication and media studies PhD students explore and deepen their knowledge of the theoretical foundations and traditions, pertaining to key aspects of their doctoral projects. The students engage in the study of the different paradigms and schools of thought of their selected theoretical area, with the suggestion to focus on one of the key fields of culture, ideology or power. This suggested focus helps students to embed the theoretical grounding of their doctoral projects in critical approaches, in communication and media studies. Through the scrutiny of key scholars and texts, students evaluate the existing literature critically, reflecting on its strengths and shortcomings, and argue, in written form and orally, for their theoretical and conceptual choices, in light of their own projects’ aims and specificities.
Intended learning outcomes § The students expand and deepen their theoretical knowledge, in approaches and directions pertinent to their doctoral projects, in a critical and structured fashion. § The students develop their skills of communicating concepts and theories, both in written form and orally. § The students develop their pedagogical skills, by structuring and delivering a short lecture regarding their selected theory/concept.
