Boredom
could
be
considered
the
zeitgeist
of
our
Corona
-
times
.
The
stillness
,
silences
,
and
empty
spaces
are
all
too
common
these
days
.
More
often
we
try
to
fill
them
with
attention
grabbing
stimuli
,
but
what
if
we
did
not
–
what
if
we
instead
examined
the
boredom
we
feel
?
This
seminar
will
do
exactly
that
,
explore
the
contents
of
boredom
through
how
it
can
offer
a
space
for
creative
and
contemplative
thought
,
as
well
as
existential
reflection
.
This
seminar
is
text
-
based
where
we
will
examine
one
theme
each
week
with
the
final
week
dedicated
to
a
final
project
presentation
.
Discussions
and
activities
will
be
inspired
by
the
dedicated
theme
of
the
week
,
which
include
:
creative
sides
of
boredom
as
explored
through
the
psychological
and
artistic
perspectives
,
contemplative
thought
examined
through
the
practice
of
meditation
and
its
effects
on
the
brain
,
and
existential
reflection
inspired
by
phenomenological
texts
,
in
particular
Heidegger
’
s
perspective
on
boredom
and
its
relationship
to
technology
.
