In our increasingly multicultural societies, in which the co-existence of languages and cultures leads to the construction of plural identities, it becomes imperative to consider the role played by different artistic discourses in relation to the insufficiently studied processes of identity construction and the dynamics of multiculturalism.

Developed within the framework of the European Higher Education Area, and in line with programmes offered by other European universities, the MA programme Construction and Representation of Cultural Identities (academic master's degree) offers advanced study in the definition and critical analysis of the processes of the construction of ideas – including the idea of identity – and of its representations – in literature, cinema, the theatre, and other media. It is also concerned with the reception, translation, and cultural management of texts in the context of increasingly multicultural societies.
