Course contents :

| In 2011-2012 the teaching will take the form of a list of readings and an individual report. Students are invited to get in touch with the Teacher.
The seminar is about the analysis of communication in real-life situations accroding to the model developped at the BTC in Palo Alto (Ca). Thanks to many exercices, students are introduced to the interactional approach and the conceptual toolkit developped by Watzlawick et al at the MRI in Palo Alto. The main theoretical references are the constructivist school and the complex system theories of E. Morin. The course is not overloaded with theory. It is devoted to the acquisition of "know-how" (to understand, to look, to interview) rather than theoretical knowledge. |
