Class Space Anthropology

  • Presentation

    Presentation

    This course aims to gather scientific knowledge and ethnographic tools that allow the identification and analysis of contemporary representations of Space. The syllabus covers the technical mutations, social contexts and relational dynamics that build up Space as a field of action: from macro-processes, such as globalization and generalized acceleration, to micro-links, such as the heterotopic and the particular, passing through pressing issues such as the impact of human action on Earth. Analysis, reflection and debate are promoted on the local and translocal processes that mark contemporaneity, along with the seminal impulses that actively contributed to the real and symbolic construction of space.

  • Teaching methodologies and assessment

    Teaching methodologies and assessment

    Theoretical UC, of an expository nature, which encourages the debate of ideas in class and the preparation of a practical exercise that brings theory closer to the field of sound technologies. The contents are published on moodle at the start of the semester to allow for continuous learning.
