Learning outcomes
The course intends to introduce and discuss some of the main themes of political philosophy with particular attention to both contemporary debates and socio-political transformations taking place in the globalized world. The focus will be placed on the question of democracy and the problems of contemporary democracy.
Prerequisites: general notions of modern and contemporary history and history of philosophy.
The skills that the students must have acquired at the end of the course will be:
- knowledge of the main concepts of modern and contemporary theoretical reflection on politics:
- ability to apply this concept to the reading of contemporary phenomena concerning the relationship between society, media and culture
- ability to critically analyze cultural, political and social messages in the media.
Program
Part 1. Conditio humana: Global risk society
Social, economic and cultural transformations in modernity (geographic discoveries, capitalist economy, secularization) have opened up horizons of transformations to which political theory has responded by developing a rational and efficient approach to human coexistence. The major actor of risk prevention and management has been traditionally the State. How does this scenario changes - and with it the role of risk - when a human condition of strict interdependence between different places and people renders obsolete the nation-state framework?
Which transformations occur at the State level in terms of risk prevention and management?
Part 2. Nine-eleven twenty years after: war and violence in the global perspective
In the Second part of the course we will be discussing the decisive event in global politics of the last 20 years – the terrorist attacks against the USA in September 2001 and their aftermath. By drawing from Ida Dominijanni’s political analyses – in various articles published from July 2001 (the G8 summit in Genoa) to November 2008 (the election of Barack Obama) – we will be asking: how did the terrorist attacks and the wars that followed have contributed to transform political concepts that sill linked security to the institution of the State? Are the nine-eleven attacks a manifestation of risk society? What resources can political philosophy offer to journalism and how can journalism in turn intercept and influence the theoretical discourse of political philosophy? What kind of symbolic, conceptual and cognitive tools can the relationship between political philosophy and journalism mobilize in the task of interpreting contemporaneity?
Bibliography
Examination Methods
Oral exam that will start with a presentation of a case-study (concept, event, fact, phenomenon etc.) freely chosen by the student and prepared by relying on the texts of the course. Further questions on the specific case-study or other notions included in the tests can be part of the exam.
For attending students: the preparation of the oral exam presentation can move from class discussions of themes and cases, and eventually from extra material given during lectures.
Active participation in class discussion and personal or group oral presentation in class contribute for 30% to the final vote.
For non-attending students:
The program is the same, including extra texts and material given during the course (available on the moodle platform of the course). The oral examination will be entirely based on the texts but can equally begin from a specific case-study (see above).
