This subject combines face-to-face and blended learning in a percentage that has yet to be confirmed. When the academic year starts, the calendar with all of the planned teaching activities (with timetables and classrooms) will be available from the Moodle online campus for each subject.

This is a course delivered in English and with a reflexive tone. The 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-C1) is expected to follow the course. The subject also presupposes some skills of media production including photo and short video editing.
