Course Syllabus
Abstract
This practice-oriented course will introduce students to different methodological approaches to mass media and political text analysis. The course aims to equip students with the core methodological and analytical skills necessary to engage in research on mass media and political discourse, including data collection, processing, analysis and presentation. By the end of the course, students will be able to analyze the texts of mass and political communication from the point of view of their performativity, semantics and meaning and to identify possible manipulations in their various forms (oral, written, audio-visual). The course comprises the following methodological approaches: social constructionist approach to social problems as claims-making (P.Ibarra and J.Kitsuse), critical discourse analysis (T. van Dijk, N.Fairclough), multimodal discourse analysis (G.Kress and T. van Leeuwen).
Learning Objectives
- The course aims to familiarize students with the main methodological approaches to the study of political and mass communication (critical theory, social constructivism, social semiotics)

Expected Learning Outcomes
