Natural history of human communication

Evolution of communication

The course is an introduction to the natural history of human communication. First it rapidly present the evolution of communication in the animal kingdom. Then human communication is presented as it has evolved from primatic ancestral forms. The more recent theories about what is specifically human in communication (apart language!) are proposed. The following topics are discussed : the attachment theory; social cognition in dogs, monkeys, apes and children; facial expressions as biologically and culturally bounded; interactional synchrony, mother-baby interaction, empathy, intersubjectiviy. The aim is to indentify what makes human communication and interaction so special and how it opens up to cultural invention.

Evolution of communication

The examination, which was intended to be a well-argued text, is replaced by an open-question examination. This will be done online. It will, in any case, be open book (texts + notes + ppt presentations). Students will have access to all their teaching material. They are therefore allowed to annotate their reading portfolio. 
The open questions will be questions for reflection and not for restitution. They will require the comparison and mobilization of several texts and/or arguments or information present in the slides. It is therefore essential to prepare the texts well using effective reading sheets, to organize the arguments well and to have a viable and easily mobilizable information filing system within a limited period of time.
The examination will last 2 hours.
