L’éthique au cinéma / Ethics in the movies
Des problématiques éthiques sont omniprésentes dans des romans et des films. Au lieu de s’en servir comme des illustrations de thèmes théoriques, le séminaire veut initier à une dynamique de recherche qui favorise des rencontres entre philosophie et culture, éthique et esthétique. Il s’intéresse particulièrement au cinéma comme lieu authentique d’apprentissage sur les valeurs et les normes.
Ethical issues are omnipresent in novels and films. Instead of using them as illustrations of theoretical topics, the seminar wants to initiate a research dynamic that promotes encounters between philosophy and culture, ethics and aesthetics. It is particularly interested in cinema as an authentic place to learn about values and norms.

Participation in the seminar will be validated
Participation in the seminar will be validated
- based on your attendance at the sessions. This is non-negotiable. There is no need to want to write a work without really having participated in the sessions. A seminar is by definition a place of collective research and debate and differs from a lecture or a series of conferences. This is part of learning.
- your ability to discuss the contributions of other students.
- the oral presentation of a problem chosen by yourself as part of the general theme. In concrete terms, this means that you must identify a search object yourself and legitimize this choice.
- the writing of a text (max. 40,000 characters including spaces) that considers critical comments on the oral presentation.
Other information
Attendance is compulsory, given that this seminar will rely on the active participation of students.
