Construction and Representation of Cultural Identity

The master's degree is primarily intended for graduates in languages or humanities. Prospective students should be interested in learning more about the critical and theoretical analysis of mechanisms for constructing and representing cultural identities in a wide range of texts and contexts, with a specific focus on gender and interculturality.
The course is also suitable for students with a background in other areas of the social sciences and artistic fields (such as fine arts or dramatic arts), and a fundamental interest in the advanced critical analysis of processes of constructing and representing identities in the areas of gender and interculturality.
Students who wish to take the subjects that are taught in English must have English language skills equivalent to at least level C1 in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.
