3 | Narratives We Live By | LBA020B05 |
This course focuses on basic cultural narratives, and emphasizes their constructed nature as is evident from looking into a diversity of cultures. After some basic cultural processes are introduced, such as hegemony, center and periphery, and social classes, the course will study how basic narratives of reality were developed in ancient times: narratives are seen as cognitive tools that crystallize, experience, and direct feelings about social reality in a socially constructed manner. Looking into the beginnings of these narratives, and into an array of cultures results in a better ability to reflect upon our own culture(s). The theory of Predictive Brain, as described by Lisa Feldman Barrett, together with Merlin Donald's theory of the evolution of human cognition (as introduced in the first part of the minor), and Barend van Heusden Decoupling Theory, will provide the basic cultural-cognitive concepts for the analysis.
For the final paper, students will employ (critical) hermeneutic and the use of cultural and cultural-cognitive concepts to study an ancient narrative. |
