Conceived as a continuation of the first year's program, the course aims to explore the concept of ideology in its connections to those of freedom, expression and communication. From this point of view, the question of possible evolutions of our mass media societies reveals wider potentials both from an ethical and from an anthropological point of view, involving the problem of desire in the social system of control and the perspective of a future development of human kind. To do so, students will be led to close read some important texts of H. Marcuse and Th. Adorno analysing those works in order to further explore the complexity of Frankfurt school's legacy.
