Social groups and their cultural imaginaries
Course Number:

Course Description:
This course presents the ways in which the relationships between identity, difference and alterity are presented in various literary genres (narrative, dramaturgy) and in other practices of cultural and visual representation. Identity as a nuclear concept of contemporary culture has dimensions in various ontological orders that range from the individual to the social, from the real to the imaginary, from the structural to the contingent and historical. The program develops these aspects with the objective of familiarizing the student with an interpretative concept of the dynamics of modernity that continue to act as constituent processes of our societies. In this way, the student will know the main issues involved in the study of narrative forms, the construction of social meaning and the representation of culture, as well as the theories that have dealt with them, and will have the conceptual and methodological instruments to address them.
