Learning objectives
The course is divided into the following two modules
The Law module aims to provide students with the fundamental legal knowledge that governs the processing of data in the current information society, with particular regard to new digital media. The limitations established by the legislator for the processing of data, their circulation and the liabilities deriving from the possible violation of the relevant rules will be the subject of an in-depth study.
The Ethics module aims to provide some basic tools of contemporary ethical reflection; to enable students to recognize an ethical dilemma in a public debate or in daily professional practice; to learn to examine and reformulate it on the basis of the reflection tools learned; to be able to critically elaborate an operational perspective in the face of dilemmas and controversial cases encountered. At the end of the course the student has to show to have acquired the following skills:
- ability to analyze the realm of the so-called documentality, within the horizon of a complex society in relation to the influence of the IT device
- knowledge and capability to interpret and know how to use the concepts of truth, device, objectification, subjectivation and responsibility, as well as the articulated interaction of the phenomena that these concepts allow to describe and direct.
