Learning outcomes

The course aims to understand the "event" and the possibility of its communication from a philosophical and psychoanalytic point of view.

Program

WHAT IS HAPPENING, WHEN SOMETHING HAPPENS? EVENT, TRAUMA, COMMUNICATION

Many thing happen during a day, and even at night: atmospheric phenomena, meetings, fortunes, misfortunes, loves, hopes, frustrations, dreams ... What are the minimum requirements so that we can say that "something happens"? Everything that happens is an "event." Not all events, however, are equal. There are events that belong to our habits and events that seem out of the ordinary. How we deal with these events out of the ordinary? How they change us as we endure them and how to survive them? How do we communicate them to ourselves and to others?
