Universitat Internacional de Catalunya - BarcelonaFundamentals of Human Communication I
Module: Global Trends
Matter: Anthropology
Main language of instruction: Spanish
Other languages of instruction: Catalan
The need to communicate, to reveal oneself and others, is based on the very nature of man. Our communication, in addition, to the extent that it is mediated by symbols and, very particularly, by conceptual language, constitutes a differential fact of the human. Man is an essentially communicative being, but his communicative capacity differs radically from any type of animal "language".
In this subject we propose to work mainly two things: how communication is rooted in the nature of man and, more specifically, in the most intimate and deep of the person, that is, in his "heart" and, in second place , what are the different forms and levels at which human communication can be carried out (friendly dialogue, empty talk, artistic communication, gestures, in organizations ...).
1. Human communication (word) and animal communication (voice).
2. Word and learning
3. Word and truth
4. The heart and its words.
5. Advertising, mediation and leveling.
6. Media and democracy.
7. Global communication and risk society.
8. Artistic communication.
9. The man, a relational being.
10. The person in the organizations.
