Cultures and Identities in Europe - Past, Present and Future

This MOOC questions what European identity is and what we understand and promote as European culture. It explains fundamental European policies on culture, creativity and the media, with a specific focus on urban settings. The course critically explores the formation of diverse identities and cultures in Europe, by shedding light on the importance of memories and shared heritages in this process. Finally, it illustrates the policy dimension behind European cultural and media industries and questions dominant economistic approaches to cultural creativity.



Who is this course for?



This course is meant as a general introduction to the issue of "European identity and culture" for students and practitioners in the field of arts, culture and heritage. The core of the course will resemble a BA level course, yet extra materials will be provided to students who want more in-depth information on theories and case studies.



What will I learn?



Students who take the course will acquire knowledge on:


• Current debates on what is the 'European identity' and what is 'European culture' and what it means to talk of them in the singular or in the plural (cultures, identities).


• Relevant terms and understand the relationship between notions of identity, memory, heritage, and culture.


• Main approaches to cultural heritage and the public use of history.


• European policies in the media and cultural sector.


• Critical approaches to cultural industries: what are they? And why urban settings are so important for their development?



What do I need to know?



Knowledge of English is essential. Previous knowledge of basic sociological or economic debates on art, diversity and culture can be an advantage, although it is not a compulsory prerequisite.
