Content
The module proposes to develop a theoretical-methodological reflection on participatory communication as a device of cultural action that serves institutions to develop cultural policies through assuming and activating mechanisms of social participation, a right included in the new framework of political action. and one of the goals of the 2030 Sustainable Agenda.
The course aims to understand institutions as the engine of these processes, which puts us in the position of rethinking them as agents with the ability to imagine and promote active listening mechanisms that transform access, interaction with communities and the recognition of these as well as the story.
The reflection –and the proposal– is inserted in the critique of the hegemonic accounts of Cultural Studies and in a current of post-structuralist and feminist thought that seeks to debate the definition of culture to the point of problematizing who participates in or has access to it. definition, whom (or whom) the cultural agenda recognizes and privileges and how and to whom the cultural narrative represents.
For this, during the classes, the following will be discussed in depth:
a) The debate around the concept of culture
b) The communication and culture link
c) Community participation from community feminisms
d) The story and shared narratives
e) The depatriarchalization of the narrative
Methodology
There are three types:
a) addresses: reflected on the volant of participatory communication with a focus on cultural transformation and analysis of examples
b) supervised: analysis of a cultural transformation project through participatory communication
c) autonomous: lectures, dynamics and discussion
Sessions will last 3 hours. The first two hours of each session will involve a theoretical reflection on the proposed objectives. In the last hour of the seminar, debates will be held and/or experts (museologists, directors of cultural centers, politicians) will be invited to present practical cases. Likewise, two visits to cultural spaces will be scheduled.
Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.
