Morrissey College of Arts & Sciences
This course offers a phenomenological and psychoanalytic study of Irish culture and psychology. It draws from the work of Freud, Merleau-Ponty, Lacan and others to consider a radical engagement with the nature of being and subjectivity, and debate paradoxes of freedom, desire, morality, knowledge, sexuality, and culture. Critically informed analyses of Irish films and Irish literature locate these debates within the Irish context, and organise the application of psychoanalytic and philosophical concepts around cultural artefacts and phenomena. Satisfies the following distribution requirement(s) for Philosophy: Ethics & Values.
