Inhalt: The seminar will be devoted to the processes that divide the Union (that is, in a literal sense, break its unity). The hypothesis that will accompany our meetings says that the Union is becoming a land of three subcontinent departing from each other: east, south and core. These geographical parts represent the three most serious problems of today's Union: the increase in the egoism of individual states (Central and Eastern Europe), the influx of migrants (South), the lack of a new equality policy (core states). These smaller areas as sources of key problems for the Union will become the basis of the seminar program. Classes will have the nature of an investigation expedition, which will start from Russia and Central and Eastern Europe (Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary), then move to Greece and Italy, and end in Germany and France. The seminar will be based on "mapping Europe's problems". So, first of all, on locating a given problem, i.e. embedding it in a specific place / area of the map and considering it in a historical context; secondly, in seeking geopolitical concepts that have led to isolation. We will not therefore discuss "imaginary Europe"; our task is quite the opposite - to diagnose the decay arising due to insufficient imagination. We will try to capture the unimaginable birth process. Imagination has failed - in this situation we will look for rescue narratives, i.e. those concepts that take into account problems (sovereign aspirations, migrations, inequalities generated by capitalism) and propose conditions for their resolution. The seminar cycle will consist of 12 meetings. They will all be conversational. At each of them one participant will present selected additional text or present the indicated problem - in the form of a short (10-minute) presentation. This is one of the conditions for passing. Other: active participation in the discussion.
