The City & Soul
Studying the humanities or classics forms and deepens us as individuals and as contributors to society as a whole. At a time when technology offers dazzling new possibilities and cultures collide in ways both exciting and dangerous, humanities provide crucial insight into what matters in life, into the character of civilisation, and into the capacity — and the limits — of people’s ability to understand societies different from their own. It places the human being right the centre events, a knowledge that is much needed in order to function as an effective citizen in a rapidly changing world.
The Humanities programme provides students the opportunity to integrate courses from across the humanistic disciplines into intellectually coherent and personally meaningful courses of study. Works of literature, music, history, political philosophy, the city & self are brought into conversation with one another in order to provide a fuller and unitary view of the individual and society.

Film and Literature
Ever since the dawn of the modern age, human beings have gradually metamorphosed into a coordinated mass of machine-like workers, driven by self-interest and the instant gratification of small pleasures. Global societies which are often based on the modern notions of security, progress, and individualism, are now experiencing the chaotic and destructive effects. It has led to the re-ordering of the different elements of the soul but more importantly a re-ordering of society that has not allowed deep individual authenticity and flourishing to emerge.
In this course, we will analyse the consequences using film and literature. We will begin with the movie Joker and complete the course by looking at the book, ‘The Giver’.
