Traumatic memory and national identity across languages and cultures: Japan,Lebanon and modern-day Egypt

Course overview: The general objective of the programme is to develop learning course that aims to raise the student's awareness of the transcultural and interconnected nature of the dynamics of re-elaboration of traumatic memory and the shaping of national identity through the analysis of the most recent media productions, with a specific focus on the construction of a 'global citizen education'. From this point of view it aims to increase their knowledge of intercultural dynamics in the global context through the analysis of representations and movements, as an answer to an increasingly pressing demand from the job market in contexts where communicative, linguistic, and cultural skills are required (as in the service and communication sector, or in interlinguistic contexts characterised by processes of internationalisation and multiculturalism).
