On Tuesday the 16th of May 2017 the students of the classroom 5^A belonging to the Technical Economics Tourism cycle of studies will take part in the Lectio Magistralis called “The phylosophy of screens, from the movie theatre to the digital revolution” held by Mauro Carbone, Professor of Contemporary Aesthetic at the University Jean Moulin-Lyon 3.
The conference will be held from 11.00 a.m. to 1.00 p.m. at the school's premises.
Phylosophy can help us to understand how the digital revolution is changing our life. Considering how such a revolution has been changing our life can also help us understand what type of phylosophy we can face nowadays.Our changed relationships with the screens can perfectly stress our current habits. So the above mentioned text goes through the different tries France has put forward to face and understand the new aspects introduced by the cinema industry in a country where the cinema was born as well as the important phylosophy of the XXth century thanks to Bergson, Sartre, Merleau-Ponty, Lyotard and Deleuze. The connection between the changes of this important optical device and the corresponding ages, our different way to face the changes and the role of phylosophy are also interesting points. We can also consider that the experiences that are shown on the screens keep changing and multiplying, they are re-designing our relationship with the outside world, with the others and between each-other. As a consequence the communication between the different media becomes inevitable, it becomes a “phylosophy of screens”.
AIMS
The above mentioned lecture aims at finalising the students' learning process through the project area “Tranches de Vie”. In details it is meant at teaching the students to take into consideration the digital reality they are surrounded by, an environment where they were born and have grown up. It could be dangerous to take this reality for granted, to think that "this is the real world, it must be so and it will always be like that”. The phylosophy of screens is an experience of our mind that is changing the real world. So our students who are approaching the final exam should be ready to face a highly technological environment, they should wander how this dimension has been changing us before this revolution occurs and it is considered inevitable and uncritical.
OBJECTIVES
The lecture aims at:
- Showing the students a new way of teaching.
- Putting the students in touch with a Unversity Professor.
- Enabling the students to assess their own skills regarding the work they have been doing within their Project Area.
- Enabling the students to assess their own skills regarding their awareness within the daily context they experience.
