Teaching method
The methodology is centred in an articulation between the cognitive mapping the problematologic approach, as proposed by Michel Foucault, in such a way that the adequate methods to the research object can be tentatively tried and elaborated, by crossing them with the available disciplinary methodologies:
An interdisciplinary exploring of the fields of contemporary culture and new media;
Seminar work;
An essay about one of the themes of the seminar.
Evaluation method
An essay about one of the themes of the seminar.
