Award in Political and Psychological Themes in Shakespearean Works as Philosophical Texts
The course is accredited by the Malta Further and Higher Education Authority (MFHEA).
The programme will consist of one module. The contact hours will be in the form of a day seminar.
The general aim is to apply an interdisciplinary approach to Shakespeare, bringing together literature, philosophy and psychology.
After a general introduction to Shakespeare as an author in a particular socio-cultural context, themes of political philosophy will be analysed in one particular play as a case. Following this, in an interactive style, participants will be helped to integrate these themes in a reading of their own personal life story and their current situation.
The reading/study hours and the assessment will then aim to further enhance the competences, skills, and knowledge.
