Teacher: Florian Kühn

Location: ALC Seminarieparken (next to Annedalseminariet)

Slides (to be added)

In this seminar, you will dissect in your groups the arguments that are brought forward in TED talks; TED talks are a certain, very popular format to highlight academic/scientific research to a non-expert audience.

In order to understand how an argument is constructed, and presented, you will watch a TED talk and together discuss and reconstruct its 'architecture'. Dissect how the presentation is built, what its main premise and core message is, how this message is presented and which 'dramaturgical' tricks are being used to bring the message accross.

We work with the peer review triads; you can chose from any of the presentations for which you find the links under this file.

While this seminar takes place in ALC, I can only be there on zoom. Please enter my zoom room when you have questions. Each group will need to have at least one computer to watch the selected TED talk and be able to join the zoom room for questions.
