About

In this Biosocial Ethics - Limits of the Human course at Malmö University students participate in a speculative and futuristic discourse that help them to expand approaches to, and understandings of, culture.

Overview

What you will learn

Cyborgs, post-human, transhuman, life 2.0, non-binary, animate/inanimate, humans living amongst and interacting with animals, plants, things, objects, the planet. What matters? How are we anchored by history, by memory, by ritual, by tradition, by the limits of our “signifying” bodies? And what are the states of mind characterising our limitations? Finally, how do we deal with denial, defense, (in)sensitivity, carelessness, discomfort?

This Biosocial Ethics - Limits of the Human course at Malmö University dives into speculations about some of the most fundamental questions shaping contemporary culture and society: What is involved in being human? And does the category of the human need to be reimagined or reinterpreted in moving towards the future?

Programme Structure

On completion of the course the student will be able to:
  • analyse literary texts, artworks, films and/or other cultural productions in imaginative ways
  • demonstrate the ability to think critically by making nuanced links and connections between new ideas and relevant established theories
  • demonstrate an expanded understanding of ethics
