General description and relevant information This is a course entirely delivered in English and it has a reflexive tone. This course is focused on the current debates around globalization and its social and cultural impact. The subject proposes a theoretical approach to concepts such as ‘clash of civilizations’, ‘liquid society’, ‘postmodernity’, ‘post-nationalism’, ‘consumer culture’ or ‘cosmopolitism’. The students develop on readings and cultural analysis (cinema and media productions) with a command on the concepts and a list of authors. The students apply this knowledge on a range of essays to be produced (writing and audiovisual outputs). This is a subject specially addressed to students with research aims in the fields of culture and the media, within an international context. English is the regular language for communications, deliveries, assignments and in-class contributions. Therefore a good command of English (B2) is expected to satisfactorily follow the course. The subject also presupposes some skills of media production including photo and short video. Class attendance is needed and it is not compatible with other courses at the same time slot.
