Purpose and description of the content of education:
The aim of the module is to familiarize students with theoretical and practical issues related to culture in its broadest sense and to indicate the self-creative values of reflexive participation in it (according to the concept of satisfying needs in contact with art) with the adoption of a broad humanistic perspective, in which pedagogical optics was considered crucial. It has also become important to identify the mediated experience of contact with an art/cultural work as a way of learning about social phenomena and building one's own world of values. The educational content has been presented in such a way as to focus on problem fields introducing various cultural media. Among them, the following contents will appear: the understanding of culture, its intersubjective potential; film pedagogy/film in pedagogy; embodiment in visual art; Phenomena in Contemporary Theatre/Post-Dramatic Theatre; participation in musical culture. The content formulated in this way and exemplified by works of art/culture will become the basis for analyses undertaken with students in the interpretative paradigm, with an emphasis on discovering meaning for oneself (Ricoeur) and intelligent parasitism (Witkowski).
