- Understanding the concept of archetypes and their impact on cultural awareness, human interaction and translation
- Learning about archetypal myths and traditions in various countries and regions and their meaning for seeing the world as it is (perception and reality)CONTENT
- The concept of archetypes according to C.G. Jung
- Archetypes in everyday life and their impact on human communication and interaction across culturesMETHODS
Based on a short introduction into archetypes and their images, this course will deal with the impact that archetypes have as a universal and innate tool of creating meaning and shaping the world around us. Seen through the lens of C.G. Jung's teachings, we will explore the ways that people in different countries and regions have learned to communicate with each other and to what extent myths, fairytales and specific cultural traditions play a role in this process.Participants are encouraged to develop their own areas of interest within the topic of this course, which will be narrowed down to "Archetypes in Anglo-American TV series" for this semester. They will be provided with material on the platform, but also carry out further research, formulate personal views and prepare individual and group presentations as a basis for discussion in class.
Academic writing will be practiced through exercises and the production of a seminar paper.
