In this semester I have three very boring courses required of my programme, but I've really enjoyed an elective course about Contemporary Public Opinion.
This course is organized by lectures prepared by a couple of students for a later debate, what is a very free way of making a course and allows us proposing topic we want talk.
The main subject of course is the debate about public opinion as concept, by authors like Habermas that explain how the space to public discussions was taken for corporatives interests and even how the word to name this turned to publicity (in spanish, while in english use advertising and german use öffentlichkeit).
For the other hand, we debate the use of surveys to give voice to the "public opinion", above all in the electoral predictions.
I like this course because it subject allows analize wide kind of problems, currents debates and historical process about construction of discourses. This concept is so controversial that is defined like a sausage of angel and beast (alluding to Nicanor Parra's "Epitaph").
That's all for now, I read you!

Hello Cristian
ResponderEliminarI think that this subject demands a lot of time and dedication, however, when something you like does not matter how complicated it is!
Hi Fernanda, you are right (I'm agree with you), the motivation is fundamental for facing the courses.
EliminarCheers!
ResponderEliminarHello Cristian, like you, this semester I had very boring subject. One of my favorites is also optional.

Hi Macarena, I think that there is a feeling related with the inevitable finish of our programmes that make us that feeling of boredom. Or maybe I hate the courses of Public Policy.
EliminarCheers!
