DESCRIPTION

Knowing the cultural historical process, it is essential to provide students with the appropriate analytical tools so that they can critically study the conditions of cultural production, its formalization as changing ideological foundations and the mechanisms of selection, transmission and reception throughout the different historical stages. In the western world, classical culture has become the repository of knowledge essential for the formation of the oligarchies and the cadres necessary for administration. Thus, the cultural history of the West becomes a sequence of re-readings of the classical world that adapt to the needs, aesthetic and political, in a permanent dialectical relationship between past and present. Consequently, it is necessary in a degree of Cultural Studies not so much the erudite knowledge of the contents of a history of culture, but the foundations of the relationship between the past and the present to reveal the mechanisms of justification of inequalities from the formalization of a supposedly unalterable culture.
