Society and Culture in the 21st Century
To understand Society and Culture in the 21st century, it is necessary to have knowledge of the following disciplines and concepts: Anthropology, Culture, Sociology, Art History and Philosophy History.
The general objective of the subject is to offer a theoretical reflection on the culture in the 21st century and its social impact, to achieve a better understanding of some of the multiple relationships between culture and society and to analyze the mechanisms of interaction in order to gain a better understanding of the role of cultural management.
As future cultural managers, we are going to look for answers in Museums and Cultural Institutions of Barcelona, as well as in relevant authors of the different theoretical perspectives. This course is designed to enable cultural manager students the time to pursue intensive personal research programs in a group environment.
Students will be expected to attend local exhibitions, museums, visiting artist lectures, etc. As part of the course work, familiarity with the gallery scene in Barcelona is essential.
