Course objectives
The course focuses on the techniques of political advertising, how to analyze it, and how to prepare, test, and implement an advertisement for a fictitious political entity. By the end of this course, the student will have an overview of the legislative regulation of political advertising in the Czech Republic, as well as various advertising techniques and methods of portraying politics. The student will be able to critically interpret and analyze the metaphors and semiotic devices used — that is, reflect on the stories told about politics and the nature of political leadership. Based on this knowledge, students will then proceed to develop their own advertising message for a (fictional) political entity.
Learning outcomes
Upon completion of the course, students will be able to: - Understand the legislation in the Czech Republic. - Analyze advertising messages. - Prepare their own advertising message.
