Objectives

The course aims to address the contrasting aspects of cultural and artistic production, not necessarily a chronological or evolutionary way, resultant of "The Clash of Civilizations" between the peoples of the Americas, Africa and Europe, along the Modern and Contemporary Age. These scientific purposes intend to reinforce the skills that students must have started at undergraduate level namely: critical and interpretive ability, autonomy in finding texts and their selection; autonomy at the level of scientific approaches, ability to reflect and produce a coherent discourse, ability to develop a coherent work from a methodological and scientific point of view.
