The aim of the course is to introduce the concepts of communication and culture, and to develop an understanding of communicative processes across cultural boundaries. After a brief review of the main theoretical approaches, we will deepen the so called “ritual” approach and examine key media representation of cultural experience abroad in Florence, Italy and Europe.
Method
The instructor, during class time, will take students to places in Florence that are meaningful for him. Students, at one point of the semester, will take the lead and bring the class to their significant places. In both cases we will carry out simple exercises: observing, taking short notes, pictures and videos. Students will then write the short story of their studying abroad experience.
