Planned Learning Activities and Teaching Methods

The course will begin with a brief historical, theoretical and philosophical overview of "being modern" and will continue with a theoretical framework focusing on "belated modernities" in peripheral countries, their intellectual origins and models.

Presentations, text readings and a series of discussions will enrich students' engagement with the subject. The aim of these presentations is to produce a perspective on the meaning of "being modern" in Turkey.

In addition to the theoretical lectures, students will actively contribute to the course through individual research assignments, presentations or collaborative text readings and a series of discussions at the end of the film presentations.

In the context of the course structure, students will present their research on a specific situation, topic or theme of their choice as Midterm and Final Exam Assignments.
