El poder de las palabras: el impacto del lenguaje en la sociedad

Catalog description

This course explores the influence of language in society through critical discourse analysis. Students will examine how discourse shapes, reinforces, and challenges power structures, social inequality, and identities. By analyzing a range of real-world texts and contexts, students will learn to uncover the often hidden ways in which language can legitimize or disrupt social hierarchies and cultural norms. They will also gain tools to critically evaluate both explicit and implicit messages in discourse, empowering them to recognize the role of language in social change and reflect on their own responsibilities as language users in shaping societal values and beliefs.
