Cíle předmětu
The course is focused on studies of consumption in the cities and on the “consumption of cities” (Jayne 2006). The purpose of the course is however not only to conceptualize and describe the field of interest. Besides providing the theoretical background and the tools for an analytic approach to the topic, the course shall encourage the students in their attempts to understand the specificity of the situation of the cities where they live, or to compare the post-socialist Central European cities with the cities in the western part of Europe described in the literature. Therefore it concentrates – besides the readings of the theoretical works and the case studies from abroad – on working with the materials documenting the contemporary development of the central European cities. The organization of the teaching is in line with the aim of directing the students to questioning the differences between localities and to using the theoretical concepts critically.
The course is also openly aiming at strengthening the language competencies of the students and their preparedness to meet and to communicate with the experts from overseas. Dr. Mark Jayne shall lead the intensive 'bloc' teaching in November 11-13, 2009.
