Course/Module description:
The course will focus on the psychological and emotional aspects of prolonged social and ethno-national conflict, under the premise that beneath the external and declared positions of the sides to the conflict, there are unconscious emotional processes that, among other factors, escalate the socio-political ideological conflict.
The course combines theoretical and an experiential learning workshop that enables in-depth exploration of these aspects. We examine the possibility of genuine dialogue in a state of existential conflict and the development of mutual recognition between members of groups in conflict in divided societies.
The experience will be accompanied by analysis and conceptualization with the help of theoretical articles from the fields of social psychology, the study of conflicts, multiculturalism and diversity, and the philosophy and practice of dialogue.
