Three-Year and Two-Year Programme (6 ECTS)
Anthropology as the study of human beings in relation to their social group. Rather than presenting a conventional overview of anthropology, this course aims to offer students the opportunity to study and explore interconnected phenomena. The investigation will be conducted on the shifting terrain of contemporary art, which is interwoven with the dimensions of history and memory, analysing its influences from metropolitan sociology to emerging cultures. The course outlines the concept of an expanded anthropology that embraces sites of cultural intermingling over a period spanning from the 1950s to the present day.
Situated at the nexus of history, place and memory, anthropology will offer a distinct advantage: by looking beyond the superficial and the mundane, it will be able to grapple with the unique peculiarities of the present; the concept of ‘culture’ will provide students with the opportunity to explore freely between cultural intermingling and influence.
