Content
The primary aim of this course is to provide a broad introduction to European culture through different countries, periods and arts (cinema, literature, music, painting, etc.). In this way, the construction of Europe will be considered from a cultural viewpoint.
The course consists of two parts.
The first part aims to provide a set of main references useful to understand European culture. Through an international and diachronic perspective, it gives an overview of this culture, while focusing on major elements of European history and civilization (artists, genres, movements, works, writers, etc.).
The second part provides one or more specific themes that focus on particular phenomena of European culture. In this purpose, it analyzes a set of cultural works especially representative of these phenomena issued from different arts, centuries and countries.
