Learning outcomes

At the end of the course unit students will have acquired awareness of the concept of universal history centred around Europe and Western Civilization as well as with the ways through which this narrative has been deconstructed by means of alternative and peripheral critical stances. Students will be able to understand the relevance of different traditions of critical thought as cultural Marxism, anti-imperialist and Afro-American thought, cultural and postcolonial studies. At the end of the course students will demonstrate a sound theoretical framework within which specific research interests could be developed.
