Annotation
The aim of this seminar is to rethink the connection between narrative and psycho-phenomenological conceptualizations of the world we live in. A theoretical tradition going back at least to Nietzsche understands human beings as living embedded in narratives, the limits of which they cannot transcend. These narratives however are subject to change. As such narratives are ways that create meaning and orient humans living within them in ways that enable to perceive certain phenomena and provide certain possibilities of how to connect these. The reality of societies is always composed of an aggregate corpus of different narratives - some of which can be considered to be foundational narratives and as such intellectually nigh inaccessible - all of which are subject to change in space and time. One of the problems that poses itself is how to make this construction sensible and perceivable on the level of human subjectivity. This seminar thus attempts to unearth certain dominant narratives to which we are subjected and to demonstrate alternative conceptions of reality.
The seminar will be held in Czech. Knowledge of English is required.
