| Key learning outcomes | The program is based on contemporary concepts of cultures (social studies) as a combination of the history of individual cultural areas, species and media with regard to the historicity of these works, i.e. their involvement in historical contexts, especially in terms of socio-cultural and everyday history. It is a highly interdisciplinary program (overlapping into specific areas of literature and book culture, language as a tool for creating meaning and as a bearer of information, modern history, aesthetics or art history). The aim is to prepare graduates for employment in a wide range of culturally oriented workplaces (editorial offices, galleries, publishing houses and the media sphere) in the form of education that is sufficiently broad and universal. Teaching is based on the tradition and theory of British Cultural Studies, but in practical implementation it emphasizes the Czech and Central European context of culture and modern society and its history as a bearer of tradition and identity. Attention is paid to the main cultural and historical concepts of representation, identity, ideology, performativeness and adaptation, linked with the tradition and present of the research of the history of everyday life, the history of mentalities and other components of social history. The cultural material is analyzed within the framework of individual types of culture and media (book, picture, sculpture and photography, music, film, comics) as well as in interdisciplinary thematic courses. Cultural material is examined in its entirety from works of "high" culture through works of popular culture to works of mass production, both in terms of cultural history and theory. The aim of this study program is to deepen interdisciplinary approaches in the humanities towards the understanding of the world as complex societies, which will give the graduates, among others, a broader labor market, flexibility, but especially a more versatile view of modern culture as a social formation. which has both its spiritual side and its material side. | ||||
